"Rolling-sliding contact fatigue failure and associated evolutions of m" by Huan Yan, Peitang Wei et al.
In the present study, rolling-sliding contact fatigue (RSCF) failures of AISI 9310 gear steel were analyzed systematically, in terms of characterizing the fatigue life, evolution of microstructure and crystallographic orientation, and variation of microhardness and residual stress distributions. The RSCF experiments were conducted using a twin rollers fatigue test rig. The RSCF life of AISI 9310 steel roller decreased continuously with increasing the maximum Hertzian contact pressure, however, it could be effectively improved by additional shot peening process owing to the enhanced microhardne...
