Abstract
The effects of changing the rolling direction and of repeated loading on the rolling contact fatigue lives of annealed 0.45% carbon steel rollers and case-hardened nickel-chromium steel rollers under conditions of sliding rolling contact were studied. The influence of plastic flow in the subsurface layer on the rolling fatigue life was examined. The increase in the rolling fatigue life of an annealed steel roller due to a change in the rolling direction was significant, especially when the rolling direction was changed just before the formation of macroscopic surface cracks and pits. The effect with case-hardened steel rollers was negligible. The varying effects of changing the rolling direction on the rolling fatigue life were due to differences in work-hardening and the extent of plastic flow in the rollers.
