ABSTRACT
Longevity of high performance gears and bearings is often limited by the spall crack initiation from rolling contact fatigue during service. Demands for performance and reliability are
shifting some designs from through hardened bearing alloys to case hardened alloys. This shift presents a challenge for understanding ratcheting mechanisms that lead to crack initiation and mechanical predictions of bearing endurance. Advancement of case
hardening alloys and process development are hampered by expensive and problematical contact fatigue tests, residual stress and other contributions to endurance, and assumptions used in predictions about properties in the plastically graded case. This effort
asserts that the fine differences in structure result in differences in strain accumulation mechanisms that are discernible through micron level plasticity testing. A direct evaluation of microplasticity of case hardened bearing steels through cyclic nano-mechanical
indention tests was employed to develop an understanding of the changes in strain energy accumulation during cycling. Cyclic indentation at various depths within graded microstructures from case hardened samples was performed within the typical active plastic
zone in bearing alloys. With this technique, differences in microplasticity between samples of similar composition and hardness were discerned, and trends in matrix elastic losses with fatigue cycling were isolated from residual stress and other variables
that cloud fatigue performance analysis. This method can be utilized in development and optimization of alloys and processing for high cycle and contact fatigue applications.
