Manufactured by quench hardening, a bearing washer for a thrust bearing
inexpensive and excellent in durability is used without being subjected
to grinding after quenching. In a bearing washer group including a
plurality of bearing washers for the thrust bearing, when camber/waviness
of each bearing washer constituting the bearing washer group that is
randomly extracted is measured, a value obtained by adding a value three
times as large as standard deviation of camber/waviness to an average
value thereof is at most 40 .mu.m.
