Abstract:

The fatigue modes of ceramic balls under lubricated rolling-contact conditions have been studied. Classification and mechanisms of failure due to delamination fatigue have been identified. Residual stresses by the X-ray-diffraction method, chemical analysis by EPMA, and crack detection by the fluorescent-dye method have yielded some interesting observations, which may be beneficial for material scientists. © 1993.
