-
Published:1985
Abstract
This chapter discusses field, visual, physical, and metallurgical examinations of gear failures. Physical examinations reviewed include nondestructive testing, including magnetic-particle inspection, tooth characteristic studies, surface hardness testing, ultrasonic testing, nital etching, profilometer measurements, and dimensional checking. Metallurgical examinations reviewed include the cross-sectional hardness survey, macroscopic examination, carbon gradient traverse, chemical analysis, case hardness traverse [microhardness], microscopic examination, and scanning electron microscopy.
