The Effect of Superfinishing on Gear Micropitting, Part II
It should be noted from the outset that the data presented in Part I and Part II of this paper was generated by independent laboratories. Superfinishing of the gears was the authors’ sole contribution to these studies....

No matter how well gears are designed and manufactured, gear corrosion can occur during the manufacturing process, which may, in turn, result in catastrophic failure....
View MoreMaterials Matter: Micropitting
Micropitting is a gear failure mode that typically occurs when higher contact stresses are applied to hardened gear teeth. Unlike most other failure modes, micropitting does not always proceed to component failure if left unaddressed....
View MoreMaterials Matter: Scuffing
Gear meshing is one of the most complex areas of study in tribology. Meshing consists of both sliding and rolling motion and can be affected by a number of other operating parameters....
View MoreSuperfinishing and its Effect on Micropitting
Micropitting is a prominent failure mechanism for both highly stressed case carburized gears and bearings that operate consistently in low speed, low load environments where boundary conditions predominate....
