Abstract

En 24 steel spur gears in untreated and thermal-treated conditions with and without shot peening were tested in a back-to-back gear test rig. Surface finish at the pitch region and wear loss were monitored. Surface integrity studies and ferrographic analysis of wear debris enabled the interpretation of failure. The surface deterioration was less pronounced in the case of shot-peened gears and further they exhibited good steady-state wear characteristics compared to unpeened gears.
