Abstract
The mechanism of pitting in steel gears has been studied using a recirculating power type test rig on machine tool gears of modules 4 and 5. Microscopic examination showed pitting to be associated with local strain induced recrystallization which entailed a local reduction of hardness. Both transgranular and intergranular cracking was observed which led to the formation of the well known "fan blade" pits. © 1974.
