2、vided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-Summary Gear surface fatigue endurance tests were condu :ted on two groups of 10 gears each of carburized and hardened AISI 9310 spur gears manufactured from the same heat of material. Both groups were man

3、ufactiired with standard ground tooth surfaces. The second group was subjected to an additional shot-peening proces!, on the gear tooth surfaces and root radius to produce a residual surface compressive stress. The gear pitch diameter was 8.89 cm (3.5 in.). Test conditions were a gear temperature of

4、 350 K (170“ F), a maximum Hertz stress of 1.71 x 109 N/m2 (248 OOO psi), and a speed of 10 OOOrpm. The shot-peened gears exhibited pitting fatigue 1 ives 1.6 times the life of the standard gears without shot peening. Residual stress measurements and ana ysis indicate that the longer fatigue life is

5、 the result of the higher compressive stress produced by the shot peening. The life for the shot-peened gear was calculated to be 1.5 times that for the plain gear by using the measured residual stress difference for the standard and shot- peened gears. The measured residual stress for the shot- pee

6、ned gears was much higher than that for the standard gears. Introduction Shot peening has long been used as a method for improving the bending strength of gear teeth (refs. 1 to 3). However, shot peening has not been considered as a means of extending the surface fatigue life of gears. In essence, s

7、hot peening induces a residual comprea sive stress below the surface of the gear tooth. Studie,; of residual stresses in rolling-element bearings have shown that increased residual compressive stress will incr :ase rolling-element (surface) fatigue life (refs. 4 and 5). There is always a need to imp

8、rove the surface fatigue lift: of aircraft gears, especially in helicopter and V/STOL aircraft. The objectives of the research reported herein werc: (1) to investigate the effects of shot peening of gear teeth on the surface fatigue life of standard ground, case- carburized, and hardened AISI 9310 s

9、pur gears, (2) to compare the life of shot-peened gears to that of non-siot- peened gears manufactured with the same material and specifications, and (3) to determine the residual stress produced by shot peening and its effect on the surface fatigue life. To accomplish these objectives, 20 spur gear

10、s were manufactured from a consumable-electrode-vacuum- melted single heat of AISI 9310 material. Ten of t lese gears were shot peened after finish grinding. The ,gear pitch diameter was 8.89 cm (3.5 in.). Both the shot- peened and non-shot-peened gears were then tested to fatigue by surface pitting

11、 under identical test conditions. These test conditions included a gear temperature of 350 K (170“ F), a maximum Hertz stress of 1.71 x 109 N/m2 (248 OOO psi), and a speed of 10 OOO rpm. Apparatus, Specimens, and Procedure Gear Test Apparatus The gear fatigue tests were performed in the NASA Lewis R

This test rig uses the four-square principle of applying the test gear load so that the input drive only needs to overcome the frictional losses in the system. A schematic of the test rig is shown in figure 10). Oil pressure and leakage flow are supplied

13、 to the load vanes through a shaft seal. As the oil pressure is increased on the load vanes inside the slave gear, torque is applied to the shaft. This torque is transmitted through the test gears back to the slave gear, where an equal but opposite torque is maintained by the oil pressure. This torq

30、e physical properties of this lubricant are summarized in table V. Five percent of an extreme-pressure additive, designated Lubrizol 5002 (partial chemical analysis given in table V), was added to the lubricant. Test Procedure After the test gears were cleaned to remove the preservative, they were a

31、ssembled on the test rig. The 0.635-cm (0.25-in.) wide test gears were run in an offset condition with a 0.30-cm (0.12-in.) tooth-surface overlap to give a load surface on the gear face of 0.28 cm (0.1 1 in.), thereby allowing for the edge radius of the gear teeth. If both faces of the gears were te

32、sted, four fatigue tests could be run for each set of gears. All tests were run in at a pitch-line load of 1225 N/cm (700 lb/in) for 1 hour, which gave a maximum Hertz stress of 0.756 x 109 N/m2 (1 11 OOO psi). The load was then increased to 5784 N/cm (3305 lb/in), which gave a pitch-line maximum He

33、rtz stress of 1.71 x IO9 N/m2 (248 OOO psi). At this pitch-line load the tooth root bending stress would be 0.21 x 109 N/m2 (30 OOO psi) if plain bending were assumed. However, because there was an offset load, an additional stress was imposed on the tooth bending stress. Combining the bending and t

34、orsional moments gave a maximum stress of 0.26 x 109 N/m2 (37 O00 psi). This bending stress does not include the effects of tip relief, which would also increase the bending stress.

The lubricant outlet temperature was nearly constant at 350*3 K (170“ *5“ F). The tests ran continuously (24 hr/day) until they were automatically shut down by the vibration detec

38、tion transducer, located on the gearbox adjacent to the test gears. The lubrkant circulated through a 5-pm fiberglass filter to remove vear particles. After each test the lubricant and the filter element were discarded. Inlet and outlet oil temperatures were continuously recorded on a strip-chart re

39、corder The pitch-line elastohydrodynamic (EHD) film thickness was calculated by the method of reference f. It was assumed, for this film thickness calculation, that the gear temperature at the pitch line was equal to the outlet oil temperature and that the inlet oil temperature to the contact zone w

40、as equal to the gear temperature, even though the inlet oil temperature was considerably lovier. It is possible that the gear surface temperature was egen higher than the outlet oil temperature, especially at the end points of sliding contact. The EHD film thickness for these conditions was computed

41、 to be 0.33 pm (13 pili.), which gave an initial ratio of film thickness to compo site surface roughness h/a of 0.55 at the 1.71x109-N/mz (248 OOO-psi) pitch-line maximum Hertz stress. Results and Discussion Gears manufactured from CVM AISI 9310 mate-ial were tested in pairs until failure or for 500

42、 hours. One- half of the gears were shot peened on the tooth root and profile. Nineteen tests were run with standard-finish ground test gears, and 24 tests were run with standard- finish ground gears that had been shot peened. ?est results were analyzed by considering the life of each air of gears a
