Tooth Root Bending Strength of Shot-Peened Gears Made of High-Purity Steels up to the VHCF Range
One approach to strengthen the tooth root of gears is to shoot-peen the tooth root fillet. This results in higher compressive residual stresses in the tooth root area and can lead to a higher tooth root bending strength.
Enhanced Calculation Method for Tooth Flank Fracture Risk with Consideration of Tensile Residual Stresses in Larger Material Depths
Residual stresses are a major influencing factor on the load-carrying capacity of case-carburized gears. For the gear failure modes, tooth root breakage, and pitting, a significant improvement of the load-carrying capacity is possible with higher compressive residual stresses. The crack initiation for tooth root breakage at the surface of the tooth root fillet can even be prevented with shot peening.
