Abstract
A rolled-on-surface element of a rolling-element bearing assembly has a rolled-on surface configured to support a plurality of rolling elements, a cavity in the rolled-on surface having an opening smaller than 25% of a total area of the rolled-on surface, and an insert press-fit in the cavity such that an exposed surface of the insert forms a portion of the rolled-on surface. Also, a method of repairing a rolled-on surface of a rolled-on-surface element using an insert.
