Abstract
Gears are one of the most complicated applications of tribology with
combined rolling and sliding action on the gear teeth.There is the tendency to
increase the amount of power to be transmitted through the gears with the
simultaneous need to decrease the size of gears.Also environmental aspects
need to be taken into account in modern gear design.The typical tribological
failures that gears experience are scuffing, macro-pitting and
micro-pitting.In this study the effect of surface roughness, lubricant type
and surface treatment on micro-pitting performance was studied by twin disc
tests.The parameters studied were surface roughness, lubricant type and
surface treatment.
