The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This paper describes an inherent weakness that will be present on carburised gears when flank and root finish grinding is combined with the application of tooth edge chamfers. Results are presented from fractography performed on failed teeth from flank and root finish ground carburised gears which showed a propensity for bending fatigue crack initiation from the tooth edge chamfers during pulsator testing. Results are also presented from an initial investigation into methods of preventing such failures as controlling the detrimental aspect of tooth edge chamfers will allow the full potential strength benefits of modern gear manufacturing processes to be realised.
