Increasing transmitted power leads to higher temperatures and thus thinner lubricating films. These tendencies increase the failure probability in gear contacts with respect

For the low speed regime a wear test using C-type gears at low pitch line velocity of 0.05 m/s, and two different tempe

Different standard pitting tests are available for different lubricant viscosity grades using C-type gears at 8.3 m/s pitch line velocity and 90 “C in load stages 9 (PT C/9/90) or 10 (PT C/10/90). For automotive applications load spectrum testing is possible at low (PT C/LLS/90) and high (FT C/H

8、Ls/90) loads. For applications with long oil drain intervals a combined pitting and oil ageing test was developed (PITS C i85 TS) using C-type gears at variable load, speed and temperature conditions. At high temperature conditions between 120 and 150 “C the oil ageingproperties together with their

Hhn, P. Oster, K. Michaelis Gear Research Centre (FZGI, Germany 1 Introduction

11、 The lubricant as a design element can play an important role in the slow speed wear, scuffing, micro- pitting and pitting behavior of gears in power trains. With the demand of extended oil drain intervals, pre- dominantly in automotive applications, not only the Jerformance of the new oil but also

12、that of used oils with thermal and oxidative degradation has to be ob- served. Base oil type, viscosity and additive system influence the different failure modes. Comprehensive knowledge of the lubricant performance under compa- rable test conditions is the key factor for lubricant optimization for

13、transmissions in practice. a* A number of test methods was developed using the FZG back-to-back gear test rig where over 500 machines are available world-wide. These meth- ods are the Chevron wear test A/0.57/120/10 for tractor hydraulic fluids I I, the scuffing test A/8.3/90 2, 31, the micropitting

14、 test GF C/8.3/90 41 for indus- trial gear oils, and the pitting test PT C/9:10/90 51 for automotive gear oils (see Table 1). Continuous oil development, cost reduction and new market demands made it necessary to develop new test methods for gear oils. These new methods on the FZG gear test rig are

15、presented and discussed. 2 General Considerations on Test Strategies The best test configuration for full comparabili- ty is the actual gearbox under typical operating condi- -ions. For industrial gear applications this is always too a expensive and for automotive gear applications this is mostly to

16、o time consuming. The second best are test procedures using defined test gears with high reproducibility in geome- try, heat treatment and surface finish being exposed to exaggerated operating conditions in order to reduce test time. Parameters which are modified versus oper- ating conditions have t

17、o be chosen very carefully for best simulation. Test Gears High reproducibility of test gears can only be achieved when one manufacturer produces such gears on the basis of a commercial interest. Exotic test gears where only 200 pairs are ordered every three years, can hardly be produced to the requ

18、ired high quality standard. Therefore, it is highly recommended to write a new test procedure around already existing test gears, as e.g. FZG standard test gear types A and C (see Table 2). The production figures of FZG standard test gears type A are in the range of some 2000 per year and type C in

19、the range of some 500 per year. The manufacturer of these gears has dedicated three grinding machines only for the finishing of A type gears. Together with the control in the CEC project group ST 007, dealing with the scuffing test, a contin- uously high accuracy and reproducibility of the test gear

20、s can be guaranteed. Test gear geometry can be chosen for best simulation of the desired failure mode. A large module is in any case necessary to avoid tooth breakage.

The

24、method was established for a standard mineral reference oil API GL 4 (see Fig. 17). After a one hour run-in at low speed and high torque a first sequence of the test procedure is run. During these first 70 hours the Miner sum of the oil has reached unity Ioii = 1.0 and the oil is changed. The Miner

25、sum of the oil Ioi1 is calculated from the failure accumulation of the applied , ; temperature-time-spectrum versus the T-T-curve in Fig. 16. The load spectrum is chosen such that the pitting Miner sum of the gears is IPit = 0.5. The Miner sum of the gears Ipit is calculated from the failure accumu-

26、 lation of the applied load spectrum versus S-N-curves for the gear pair at different operating temperatures. With a second oil fill in the second test sequence after again 70 hours the conditions for the oil are Xoii = 1 .O and for the gears Xpit = 1 .O. The gears lubricated with the reference oil

27、fail with pitting. Candidate oils are tested against the same procedure. If no pitting occurs after the second 70 .hours a third and a fourth se- quence with each 70 h without oil change is added. Fig. 18 shows results of different oils from the market compared to the reference oil. For further test

28、 discrimi- nation the load spectrum can be increased from the 80% level of load spectrum type i (i801 to e.g. 95 % (i95). This leads to a failure of the reference oil after the first test sequence of 70 h. The method allows the relative pitting ranking of different lubricants versus a reference oil

29、under new and aged lubricant conditions. With the determination of viscosity, acid number and IR-changes during the test, the oil ageing properties of the lubricant can also be evaluated. 9 COPYRIGHT American Gear Manufacturers Association, Inc.Licensed by Information Handling Services4 Summary New
