Rolling bearings are one of the most widely used components in industrial machinery. If
suitably mounted, loaded, lubricated and isolated from contamination, rolling contact fatigue …

The power generation from wind farms is growing very fast all over the world, and wind
energy is now playing the most significant role to aid sustainable development since the last …

Ultrasonic shot peening (USP) is a surface engineering technology used to enhance the
mechanical properties of the components during manufacturing. M50 steel is one of the …

Severe plastic deformation leads to cementite decomposition in pearlitic and martensitic
alloys, resulting in high-strength nanocrystalline ferrite. This effect can be employed to …

Subsurface crack networks surrounded by microstructural alterations, named as “White
Etching Cracks”(WEC), lead to wind turbine gearbox bearing (WTGB) premature failures …

The formation of white etching cracks (WECs) in steel rolling element bearings can lead to
the premature rolling contact fatigue (RCF) failure mode called white structure flaking …

Dark etching region (DER) formation is the first stage of a series of subsurface
microstructural alterations induced by cyclic stresses during rolling contact fatigue in bearing …

White etching cracks (WECs) and the associated white etching areas (WEAs) are
responsible for failure of widely spread engineering applications such as bearings and …

Premature failures associated with microstructural degradation, ie white etching cracks
(WECS), are becoming commonplace as applications are requiring tribological components …

Butterfly white etching area (WEA) formed at subsurface inclusions under rolling contact
fatigue (RCF) of bearing steel was investigated by using the Scanning Electronic Microscopy …
