Detection and Diagnosis of Gear Tooth Wear through Metallurgical and Oil Analysis

Gear teeth wear, in most cases, by a smooth process giving initially good contact conditions, followed by a very slow and gradual process. Further, continuous progression of tooth wear may cause unfavorable changes of surface topography, thereby, giving rise to worsened contact situations. The metal...
