Abstract
Failure under lubricated rolling contact is a fatigue phenomenon. The role of surface deformation under conditions of point contact on the initiation of failure was investigated using an accelerated service simulation test, surface examination and measurement techniques. The effect of the nature of the lubricant and types of molybdenum sulphur additives on deformation was investigated. It was found that changes in surfaces subjected to rolling contact have a dominant effect on the incidence of failure. The properties of the materials, the nature of the lubricant and the additives used influence the changes and consequently the rolling contact fatigue life.
