摘要:
A method is directed to a production of a bearing device for a wheel including an inner member (1) and an outer member (2) rotatable relative to each other through a plurality of rolling elements (3), in which a component part forming one of the inner member (1) and the outer member (2) is a hot forged product. In the practice of this method, during or at the end of a hot forging step for hot forging the component part, a portion of the component part is cooled by spraying a coolant or by controlling an atmospheric temperature, to thereby render a matrix of the component part to represent a standard structure and render a surface portion of the component part to represent a non-standard structure (30).
