A large set of bending fatigue data on carburized steels has been statistically analyzed to quantitatively describe the effects of process and microstructural variables. Increasing demands on gear steels require a broad Examination of past bending fatgigue research to reveal The primary factors that determine fatigue performance And guide future gear steel design. Fatigue performance Was correlated to specimen characteristics such as Retained austenite content, case and core grain size, Extent of intergranular oxidation, surface roughness, and The case profiles of residual stress, hardness, and carbon Content.
