The presence of kinematically metastable retained austenite in the microstructure of bearing components can significantly affect the macro and micro-mechanical material response. In the present work, the influence of Ni on the stability of the retained austenite within three different grades of high carbon bearing steel using in-situ neutron diffraction is investigated. For the first time, the results show that presence of Ni increases the stability of the austenite in the elastic regime whereas the transformation rate remains unaffected. Crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) modeling was used to study the deformation in these three steels and shows that the predominant factor causing the difference in mechanical behavior of these steels is the austenite stability. Finally, the elastic and plastic response of the matrix martensite was found to be identical among all specimens while the austenite demonstrates similar elastic behavior but remarkably different stabilities under monotonic loading.
