Zusammenfassung:This bearing steel material satisfies a predetermined elemental composition, and is characterized by having, in the region (boundary region) from the boundary surface of spheroidal cementite to a position at 20 nm away in a base material, no greater than 0.6% (excluding 0%) of Si (boundary Si), no greater than 0.10% (excluding 0%) of Ni (boundary Ni), no greater than 0.10% (excluding 0%) of Cu (boundary Cu), no greater than 0.03% (including 0%) of Mo (boundary Mo), no greater than 0.10% (excluding 0%) of Mn (boundary Mn), and no greater than 0.9% (excluding 0%) of Cr (boundary Cr), and the circularity coefficient of the spheroidized cementite being at least 0.80. The bearing steel material exhibits favorable cold-workability during the production of a bearing component by means of cold working.
