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 …

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

A microstructure-based integrated crystal plasticity (CP) and continuum damage mechanics
(CDM) model is proposed for simulating rolling contact fatigue (RCF). The damage process …

Despite of more than two decades of research in white etching areas (WEAs), this
phenomenon still persists in wind turbine gearbox bearings leading to a reduction of L 10 …

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 …

Substantial microstructural changes, such as Dark Etching Region (DER), White Etching
Bands (WEBs) and White Etching Cracks (WECs), can occur in typical bearing steels such …

Subsurface micro-structural changes such as dark etching region (DER) and white etching
bands (WEB) which develop in bearing steels due to cyclic stresses in rolling contacts, have …

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

Blown-powder additive manufacturing process, directed energy deposition (DED) is
applicable to scale-up material development with cost-effective elemental powder mixtures …

Contact fatigue spalling failure ocurred in the M50 steel bearings during test due to the
formation of white etching area (WEA). In this paper, characteristics, formation mechanism …
