A deep groove ball bearing includes an outer ring, an inner ring, a cage, and steel balls. The cage is provided between the outer ring and the inner ring. Pockets are formed in the cage, and the steel balls are placed in the pockets. The cage is split into an upper cage body and a lower cage body. Pocket grooves are formed alternately in each of the upper cage body and the lower cage body. A connecting portion is provided between adjacent pocket grooves in the upper cage body. A positioning portion is provided between adjacent pocket grooves in the lower cage body. An insertion piece and an insertion groove are provided between the connecting portion and the positioning portion. The insertion piece and the insertion groove are configured to be fixed with each other to form a fixed connection between the upper cage body and the lower cage body.

A method is provided that forms a solid film on a bearing component of a rolling bearing. A solution containing a fluorine compound and a lubricant having no functional group is allowed to adhere to the bearing component as a first liquid film (adhesion step). The adhering first liquid film is hardened to form the solid film on the bearing component. The rolling bearing including the bearing component with the solid film formed thereon is rotated. The rolling bearing is washed in a washer fluid containing the same lubricant as that used in the adhesion step, and the washer fluid is allowed to adhere to the bearing component as a second liquid film. Then, the adhering second liquid film is dried.

Provided are that a cage for a rolling bearing in which seizure or break is not generated under a condition of a high temperature and a high speed in which a dm.Math.n value is not less than 80×10.sup.4, and a rolling bearing using the cage. The rolling bearing 1 is provided with an inner ring 2, an outer ring 3, a plurality of rolling elements 4 interposed between the inner ring and the outer ring and a cage 5 which retains the rolling elements 4. The cage 5 is formed by injection molding a resin composition. The resin composition comprises polyamide resin made from a dicarboxylic acid component and a diamine component as a base resin and a fiber reinforcing member added. The dicarboxylic acid component contains terephthalic acid as a main component. The diamine component contains 1,10-diaminodecane as a main component. The fiber reinforcing member contains 15 to 50 mass % of glass fibers or 10 to 35 mass % of carbon fibers based on the whole resin composition.

In a first process, a resin molded article having a predetermined shape is molded. Next, in a second process, a surface of the resin molded article is treated with plasma in a vacuum to provide irregularities in the surface of the resin molded articles. In the second process, discharge ignition is performed in inert gas to generate plasma, and while a degree of vacuum is maintained, raw material gas is then replaced by air.

A method of forming a bearing cage is generally disclosed herein. The method includes (i) forming a bearing cage from either titanium or a titanium alloy; and (ii) applying a plasma-nitriding treatment to at least one surface of the bearing cage to form a compound layer of titanium nitride including TiN and Ti.sub.2N on an outer region of the at least one surface. Step (ii) further forms a diffusion zone adjacent to the outer region, in one aspect. A surface hardness of the bearing cage that is treated by the plasma-nitriding step is at least 1000 HV. The bearing cage is configured to be used in a turbofan, turboprop, or turboshaft engine or in a helicopter gearbox, in one aspect.
