Subsurface crack networks surrounded by microstructural alterations, named as “White Etching Cracks”(WEC), lead to wind turbine gearbox bearing (WTGB) premature failures …
Presence of white etching cracks has been widely associated with early failures of rolling bearings in a number of applications, with wind turbine gearbox bearings being the most …
In this study, we investigate the fundamentals of deformation-driven cementite decomposition during rolling contact fatigue in a binary Fe-0.74 C (wt.%) steel with pearlitic …
