Abstract
A core portion of the carbonitrided bearing component includes a chemical composition consisting of, in mass %, C: 0.15 to 0.45%, Si: 0.50% or less, Mn: 0.20 to 0.60%, P: 0.015% or less, S: 0.005% or less, Cr 0.80 to 1.50%, Mo: 0.17 to 0.30%, V: 0.24 to 0.40%, Al: 0.005 to 0.100%, N: 0.0300% or less, O: 0.0015% or less, and the balance being Fe and impurities, and satisfying Formula (1) to Formula (4) described in the embodiment of the present specification. A concentration of C of its surface is, in mass %, 0.70 to 1.20%, a concentration of N of the surface is, in mass %, 0.15 to 0.60%, a Rockwell C-scale hardness HRC of the surface is 58 to 65, and in the core portion, an area ratio of an area of coarse V-based precipitates to a total area of V-based precipitates is 15.0% or less.
