Abstract

This paper presents a detailed experimental investigation into the effects of contact pressure, slide/roll ratio, and entrainment velocity on the micropitting of ground steel surfaces operating under mixed lubrication conditions, representative of heavily-loaded power-transmission gearing. The individual and interaction effects of these three variables were investigated using a two-level factorial test program, with the test conditions being systematically varied over the course of nine separate endurance tests conducted on a power-recirculating twin-disk test rig, with a fully-formulated naval gear lubricant.
