Mechanical Engineering gears scuffing high temperature contact fatigue In this study, a number of spur gear tests were performed under high-power and high-temperature conditions representative of certain aerospace gearing applications. As the first type of tests, long cycle tests of 100 million cycles were performed at set operating speed, load, and temperature conditions. The second type of tests, load-staged scuffing tests, implemented an incrementally increased torque schedule under constant speed and oil temperature conditions. Two different gear tooth surfaces were considered in these tests: hard ground surfaces representative of rough, as machined gear surfaces and chemically polished gear surfaces that were an order of magnitude smoother than the ground surfaces. The primary failure mode of concern was scuffing of the contact surfaces due to temperature build up. The impact of surface roughness amplitudes, contact stress, and oil inlet temperature on scuffing failures were investigated. Effects of ramp up procedures for the speed and torque, as well as the introduction of a break-in test stage were also investigated to show that they are critical to the scuffing performance of gears. 2013-12-17 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1374759993 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1374759993 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
