The invention relates to a method for decreasing decarburized 
layers on surfaces of high-carbon-
chromium bearing steel wires. The specific process comprises the steps that steel is molten to obtain 
molten steel which is subjected to 
continuous casting to form bearing steel, the bearing steel is subjected to 
continuous casting to form a bloom, and the bloom is rolled into square hot rolling billet with the section being 160mm*160mm; the surface of the square hot rolling billet is ground, and the 
grinding amount is 0.5-2mm; the square hot rolling billet is heated in a 
heating furnace, micro 
positive pressure control is adopted in the furnace, the pressure in the furnace is 5-40 Pa, the weak oxidizing 
atmosphere is adopted in the furnace, and the air-fuel ratio is adjusted to enable the 
oxygen remaining volume in the furnace to be 0-2%; and the 
spinning temperature is controlled to be 800-850 DEG C, cooling is performed at the rate of 5-10 DEG C / s after 
spinning to reduce the temperature to 500-600 DEG C, and then 
slow cooling is performed to obtain hot-rolled wire rods. According to the bearing steel wires obtained through the method, the surfaces are free of fully decarburized 
layers, and the depth of half decarburized 
layers is smaller than 50 microns; meanwhile, good component uniformity and internal structure uniformity are achieved, and the product quality requirement of downstream customers can be met; besides, the 
surface grinding amount of the downstream customers can be reduced, the cost is lowered, and a certain competitive 
advantage is provided.
