Description

  The present invention relates to a rolling bearing installed in an aluminum alloy housing, and more particularly to a wheel rolling bearing that supports a wheel of an automobile or the like.

2. Description of the Related Art Rolling bearings for wheels that rotatably support a wheel with respect to a vehicle suspension system have been reduced in weight for improving fuel efficiency. In recent years, in rolling bearings for wheels, by pursuing further weight reduction, it has become common to eliminate surplus as much as possible, and to adopt aluminum alloy knuckles instead of knuckles made of malleable cast iron, etc. is doing.
Since the specific gravity of aluminum alloy is approximately 1/3 that of steel, even if it is formed in a thick-walled structure in order to compensate for insufficient rigidity compared to steel, at least the weight of a conventional steel knuckle can be halved. In addition, the occurrence of nests caused by the difference in wall thickness, which was regarded as a unique issue for aluminum alloys, can be suppressed to the extent that there is no problem in strength due to recent advances in casting technology. Is expected to expand. The knuckle serves as a bearing housing for the wheel rolling bearing.

The aluminum alloy knuckle contributes to weight reduction, but has a material relationship that causes a potential difference between the outer member and the metal in the wheel rolling bearing. Therefore, when muddy salt water or the like is applied to the contact surface of the outer member with the knuckle, a battery is formed and electrode corrosion occurs. When electrode corrosion occurs, it may stick to the contact surface, impeding workability during repair and inspection. This electrode corrosion can be prevented by interposing an insulating material, but the number of parts increases, so that parts management becomes complicated, and it takes time to assemble the wheel rolling bearing to the knuckle.
In addition, the static electricity accumulated in the tires of the wheels flows from the inner member to the vehicle body via the rolling elements, outer members, and knuckles, but between the rolling surfaces of the inner members and outer members and the rolling elements. However, when the lubricating oil film is insufficient, there is a problem that a spark occurs in this portion and noise is generated in the radio mounted on the vehicle.

  The problem of electrode corrosion occurrence is not limited to rolling bearings for wheels, but is common to rolling bearings installed in aluminum alloy housings and used under conditions where the contact surface between the bearing ring and the housing is subject to muddy water. It becomes a challenge.

  For such a problem, the contact surface of the wheel rolling bearing with the aluminum alloy knuckle, for example, the flange portion of the outer member, is subjected to Zn-Ni plating and chromate treatment containing hexavalent chromium, It is considered as a measure for preventing food (for example, Japanese Patent Application No. 2002-266051).

  The chromate in the conventional chromate treatment for preventing electrolytic corrosion contains hexavalent chromium which is harmful to the environment. In recent years, there has been a tendency to regulate the use of hexavalent chromium as environmental problems have been heightened. For example, hexavalent chromium cannot be used due to European environmental regulations. For this reason, application of a surface treatment that has a corrosion resistance equal to or better than that of the current combination of Zn—Ni plating and chromate treatment and does not contain hexavalent chromium is desired.

An object of the present invention is to provide a rolling bearing in which the occurrence of electrolytic corrosion when used in an aluminum alloy housing is suppressed and the surface treatment does not contain environmentally harmful substances.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a rolling bearing for a wheel in which the occurrence of electrolytic corrosion at the contact surface with the aluminum alloy knuckle is suppressed and the surface treatment does not contain any harmful substances for the environment. is there.

  The rolling bearing according to the present invention is a rolling bearing in which a rolling element is interposed between opposed bearing rings, and one of the bearing rings is attached to an aluminum alloy housing, and the housing in the bearing ring attached to the housing An electrical corrosion prevention film using hexavalent chromium-free chromate is provided on the contact surface. The hexavalent chromium-free chromate is a chromate that contains chromium nitrate or chromium sulfate as a main component and does not contain hexavalent chromium. The rolling bearing of the present invention may be a rolling type bearing, and may be a radial type bearing or a thrust type bearing.

Since the bearing ring of the bearing is generally made of a steel material, when the housing is made of an aluminum alloy, the metal materials that cause a potential difference are formed. However, if an electrolytic corrosion prevention film is provided on the contact surface of the bearing ring with the housing, the battery will not be damaged even if the contact surface between the aluminum alloy knuckle and the steel outer member is covered with muddy salt. It is not formed and electrode corrosion is prevented. In addition, since the electrolytic corrosion prevention film is provided, the number of parts is not increased, unlike the case where an insulating material as a separate member is interposed, and the complication of parts management and the deterioration of assemblability are avoided.
Since the electrolytic corrosion prevention film uses hexavalent chromium-free chromate, it can be made harmless by hexavalent chromium. According to the test, even if hexavalent chromium-free chromate is used, it is better than the electrolytic corrosion prevention film using hexavalent chromium-containing chromate by appropriately selecting the plating layer for the base treatment. It was confirmed that it was possible.

  The rolling bearing of this invention can be applied to a rolling bearing for wheels. The wheel rolling bearing according to the present invention has a vehicle body mounting flange on the outer periphery for fixing to an aluminum alloy knuckle, an outer member having a double row rolling surface on the inner periphery, and a wheel mounting flange on one end. And an inner member that forms a rolling surface facing each of the rolling surfaces, and a double-row rolling element interposed between the facing rolling surfaces, and rotates a wheel with respect to the vehicle body. A wheel rolling bearing that is freely supported is characterized in that an electrolytic corrosion prevention film using hexavalent chromium-free chromate is provided on a contact surface of the outer member with the knuckle. In this case, the outer member and the inner member are the bearing rings in the rolling bearing according to the first aspect of the present invention. The knuckle corresponds to a housing. The electrolytic corrosion prevention film may be provided on the entire contact surface of the outer member with the knuckle, or may be provided on only a part thereof.

  In automobiles, weight reduction is desired, and the number of knuckles for mounting the rolling bearings for wheels has been increasing. In addition, since the rolling bearing for a wheel is used under severe conditions where salty mud water is applied, the use of an aluminum alloy knuckle tends to cause a problem of electrode corrosion due to battery molding. Therefore, there is a strong demand for electrolytic corrosion prevention treatment. In order to improve productivity, it is difficult to interpose an electrical insulating material as a separate member, and environmental considerations are also strictly required. For these reasons, the effects of suppressing the occurrence of electrolytic corrosion and eliminating harmful substances due to the provision of the electrolytic corrosion prevention film using hexavalent chromium-free chromate in the present invention are more effectively exhibited.

In the present invention, the electrolytic corrosion prevention film includes, for example, a first plating layer provided on the surface of the base material and a film layer of hexavalent chromium-free chromate provided on the outer surface of the first plating layer. Is included.
The film layer of hexavalent chromium-free chromate is excellent in the effect of suppressing the occurrence of electrolytic corrosion by being applied over the plating layer on the surface of the base material.

The electrolytic corrosion prevention film includes a first plating layer provided on the surface of the base material, a hexavalent chromium-free chromate film layer provided on the outer surface of the first plating layer, It is more preferable to have a three-layer structure with a coating layer of a thermosetting coating material provided on the outer surface. The first plating layer is, for example, a zinc nickel plating layer.
By providing such a coating layer as a top coating to form a three-layer structure, the effect of suppressing the occurrence of electrolytic corrosion by the film layer of hexavalent chromium-free chromate is further improved.
As a result of the test, when the first plating layer is zinc-nickel plating and the above three-layer structure is used, the anti-corrosion resistance is superior to the anti-corrosion film using the hexavalent chromium-containing chromate in the same three-layer structure. It was confirmed that it was possible.

The rolling bearing according to the present invention is a rolling bearing in which a rolling element is interposed between opposed bearing rings, and one of the bearing rings is attached to an aluminum alloy housing, and the housing in the bearing ring attached to the housing is provided. Since the electrolytic contact protection film using hexavalent chromium-free chromate is provided on the contact surface, the generation of electrolytic corrosion is suppressed even if it is used for an aluminum alloy housing, and no harmful substances are contained in the corrosion protection film. It will be a thing.
Since the wheel rolling bearing of the present invention is provided with an electrolytic corrosion prevention film using hexavalent chromium-free chromate on the contact surface of the outer member with the knuckle, even if it is used for an aluminum alloy knuckle, the occurrence of electrolytic corrosion is generated. It is suppressed, and the electrolytic corrosion prevention film does not contain harmful substances.

The bolt 19 is inserted into the bolt insertion hole 14b of the knuckle 14, and the screw shaft portion is screwed into the attachment hole 21 of the vehicle body attachment flange 1a.
The knuckle 14 is made of an aluminum alloy. The outer member 1, the inner member 2, and the rolling element 3 of the wheel rolling bearing are made of steel such as carbon steel or high carbon chrome steel.

As shown in FIG. 2, an electrolytic corrosion prevention film 17 is provided on the contact surface of the outer member 1 with the knuckle 14. This electrolytic corrosion prevention film 17 is continuously provided over the outer diameter surface portion of the outer diameter surface of the outer member 1 where the knuckle 14 is fitted and the side surface on one side which is the knuckle contact side of the vehicle body mounting flange 1a. ing. That is, the electrolytic corrosion preventing film 17 has an outer diameter surface covering portion 171 and a flange covering portion 172 of the outer member 1.

The electrolytic corrosion prevention film 17 is assumed to use hexavalent chromium-free chromate. For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the electrolytic corrosion preventing film 17 is overlapped with a first plating layer 17a provided on the surface of the base material 28 such as the outer member 1 and the outer surface of the plating layer 17a. The three-layer structure is provided with a hexavalent chromium-free chromate coating layer 17b and a thermosetting coating material coating layer 17c provided on the outer surface of the coating layer 17b. A low temperature thermosetting coating material is used as the thermosetting coating material. As the low temperature thermosetting coating material, a one-component low temperature thermosetting coating material or the like is used.
In addition to this, as shown in FIG. 3B, the electrolytic corrosion prevention film 17 may have a two-layer structure including a first plating layer 17a and a hexavalent chromium-free chromate film layer 17b.

As specific examples of the electrolytic corrosion preventing film 17, the following examples are used. The parentheses indicate the material of each layer.
・ (Zn-Ni plating) + (hexavalent chromium-free chromate) + (low-temperature thermosetting coating)
・ (Zn-Ni plating) + (Hexavalent chromium-free chromate)
・ (Zn plating) + (Hexavalent chromium-free chromate) + (Low-temperature thermosetting coating)
・ (Zn plating) + (Hexavalent chromium-free chromate)
-(Zn-Ni-Fe plating) + (hexavalent chromium-free chromate) + (low-temperature thermosetting coating)
・ (Zn-Ni-Fe plating) + (hexavalent chromium-free chromate)
・ (Cadmium plating) + (Hexavalent chromium-free chromate) + (Low-temperature thermosetting coating)
・ (Cadmium plating) + (Hexavalent chromium-free chromate)

As main components of hexavalent chromium-free chromate, there are the following two types.
· Chromium nitrate + inorganic salt · Chromium sulfate + inorganic salt As the inorganic salt, any of nitrate, sulfate, and hydrochloride may be used.

The main component of general chromate is chromic anhydride (or dichromic acid) + inorganic salt (nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid). The chromic anhydride (or dichromic acid) contains hexavalent chromium.
Hexavalent chromium-free chromate is obtained by using chromium nitrate not containing hexavalent chromium or chromium sulfate instead of chromic anhydride (or dichromic acid) in comparison with a chromate containing general hexavalent chromium. .

  According to the wheel rolling bearing of this configuration, the outer member 1 and the knuckle 14 are in a relationship between metal materials that cause a potential difference from each other because the outer member 1 is a steel material and the knuckle 14 is made of an aluminum alloy. . However, since the contact surface of the outer member 1 with the knuckle 14 is covered with the electrolytic corrosion prevention film 17, the battery is not molded even if the contact surface is covered with muddy salt water or the like. Therefore, electrode corrosion is prevented from occurring on the contact surface. In addition, since the electrolytic corrosion prevention film 17 is provided, the number of parts is not increased, unlike the case where an insulating material as a separate member is interposed, and the complication of parts management and the deterioration of assemblability are avoided. Since the electrolytic corrosion prevention film 17 uses hexavalent chromium-free chromate, it can be made harmless by hexavalent chromium. In addition, according to the test, even when hexavalent chromium-free chromate is used, by properly selecting the first plating layer 17a and the like, it is possible to prevent electrolytic corrosion more than the electrolytic corrosion-preventing film using hexavalent chromium-containing chromate. It was confirmed that it was excellent.

  In this embodiment, since the electrolytic corrosion prevention film 17 is provided on the wheel mounting flange 2a and the pilot portions 22 and 23 of the hub wheel 2A, even if an aluminum alloy material is used for the brake rotor 15, the brake rotor 15 Electrode corrosion is prevented from occurring at the contact surface between the hub wheel 2A and the hub wheel 2A. If this contact surface electrode corrosion occurs, the brake rotor 15 may not adhere to the hub wheel 2A during repair after use of the automobile, and it may be difficult to remove. However, the contact surface electrode corrosion is prevented. By doing so, the difficulty of detachability of the brake rotor 15 at the time of such repair is eliminated. In addition, it is thought that the use of the one made of an aluminum alloy is also increased for the weight reduction of the brake rotor 15.

  FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is for a driven wheel in the wheel rolling bearing of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. Since it is for a driven wheel, the hub wheel 2A does not have an inner diameter hole at the center. The inner ring 2B is fixed to the hub ring 2A by a caulking portion 2b provided on the hub ring 2A. Also in this example, an electrolytic corrosion prevention film is formed on the contact surface of the outer member 1 with the knuckle 14 (see FIG. 1), the brake rotor contact surface of the wheel mounting flange 2a in the hub wheel 2A, and the surfaces of the pilot portions 22 and 23. 17 is given. As the overlapping structure and material of the electrolytic corrosion prevention film 17, those of the examples shown in the first embodiment can be used. Since other configurations in this embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, the corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted. In the case of this embodiment, the wheel mounting flange 1 a is provided at an intermediate position in the axial direction on the outer periphery of the outer member 1.

FIG. 5 shows still another embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is a wheel rolling bearing of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, which is also for driving wheel support, but is of the second generation type. In this embodiment, the inner member 2 is composed of a hub wheel 2C and two inner rings 2D and 2E fitted on the outer periphery of the hub wheel 2C, and the two inner rings 2D and 2E are arranged in each row. A raceway surface 5 is formed. The outer member 1 is an integral member as in the first embodiment, and has a vehicle body mounting flange 1a.
Also in this example, the electrolytic corrosion prevention film 17 is applied to the contact surface of the outer member 1 with respect to the knuckle 14, the brake rotor contact surface of the wheel mounting flange 2a in the hub wheel 2C, and the pilot portions 22 and 23. The overlapping structure and material of the electrolytic corrosion prevention film 17 may be those of the examples shown in the first embodiment. Since other configurations in this embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to corresponding portions, and descriptions thereof are omitted. In the case of this embodiment, the wheel mounting flange 1 a is provided at an intermediate position in the axial direction on the outer periphery of the outer member 1. Moreover, although the rolling element 3 was shown with the ball | bowl in embodiment of FIG. 1 thru | or 5, a tapered roller may be sufficient.

  FIG. 6 shows still another embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment shows an example applied to a deep groove ball bearing. In this rolling bearing, a plurality of rolling elements 33 made of balls are interposed between raceway surfaces 34 and 35 of the outer ring 31 and the inner ring 32 facing each other. The plurality of rolling elements 33 are held by a holder 36. Both ends of the bearing space between the outer ring 31 and the inner ring 32 are sealed by seals 37, 37 attached to the outer ring 31. The material of the outer ring 31, the inner ring 32, and the rolling element 33 is made of steel.

  The rolling bearing is attached by fitting the outer diameter surface of the outer ring 31 to the inner diameter surface of the housing 44 made of aluminum alloy. On the contact surface of the outer ring 31 with the housing 44, an electrolytic corrosion prevention film 17 using hexavalent chromium-free chromate is provided. The range where the electrolytic corrosion preventing film 17 is provided on the outer ring 31 may be only the outer diameter surface, but is a range extending from the outer diameter surface to the width surfaces on both sides. As the overlapping structure and material of the electrolytic corrosion prevention film 17, those described in the above examples together with the first embodiment can be used.

  Even in such a deep groove ball bearing, when it is installed in an aluminum alloy housing 44 and used under conditions in which muddy salt water or the like is applied to the contact surface between the outer ring 31 and the housing 44, the problem of the occurrence of electrolytic corrosion There is. This problem can be solved by the electrolytic corrosion prevention film 17. Since the electrolytic corrosion prevention film 17 uses hexavalent chromium-free chromate as in the above embodiments, it can be made harmless by hexavalent chromium and has excellent electrolytic corrosion resistance. it can.

  The present invention can be applied to general rolling bearings, and can be applied to, for example, tapered roller bearings and cylindrical roller bearings.

Next, test examples will be described. About the outer member 1 in the rolling bearing for wheels, the electrolytic corrosion prevention film 17 was applied, and spraying with salt water was performed, and the appearance was observed until 960 hours passed after the spraying.
The test conditions were a salt spray test according to JIS Z2371, the salt water concentration was 5 w%, and the ambient temperature was 35 ° C.
