Research Abstract

The failure of bearings is caused by flaking, i.e. surface delamination, due to rolling fatigue. In this study, the bahavior of the shear-mode fatigue cracks smaller than 1 mm in size was quantitatively investigated, which dominates the strength of bearings. As a result, it was confirmed that there was no significant difference of strength between the martensite structure used mainly in Japan and the bainite structure used commonly in Europe. In addition, It was revealed that the interference of crack faces acted largely as a resisting force for shear-mode crack propagation, and an equation for a new strength design was proposed.
