Abstract:
Gear surface fatigue endurance tests were carried out using gears treated with the fine particle bombarding process (denoted hereafter as FPB) under three different peening
conditions. Shot peened gears by a conventional impeller-type machine were used as comparison. The results showed that FPB increased the tooth surface strength (pitting
resistance) by 1.21 to 1.28 times in Hertzian stress compared to the conventional impeller-type shot peening. Next, the influence of FPB on the tooth surface properties such
as residual stress, hardness, roughness,
surface texture, etc. were examined. After obtaining the results, the following factors of FPB that influenced tooth surface strength increase were discussed: (a) high
residual compressive stress produced below the surface, (b) greatly increased hardness below the surface, (c) excellent conformability of the tooth surface, (d) micro
hollows on the tooth surface generated after running. The author pointed out that the latter two were unique factors caused by FPB and contributed much to the improvement of
tooth surface strength.
