Thermo-mechanical loads are the main factor that influences the tool wear and product
surfaces during machining processes. Lubrication in metal cutting is an effective medium to …

Rolling contact wear is a complex phenomenon that might involve different wear
mechanisms (adhesive, abrasive, fatigue and corrosive) and different stress concentration …

In this study, a numerical prediction on pitting formation is carried out in spur gear made from
austempered ductile iron. General two-dimensional rolling sliding contact situations are …

A newly developed bio-based metalworking fluid (MWF) from Jatropha oil is evaluated in
this study as part of the research purposes for 'greener'machining activity. This work focuses …

Abstract Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) represents an alternative solution for the
manufacturing of the housing of small planetary gearboxes, with the gear teeth obtained …

This research aims to examine the relationship between roughness, film thickness, and
friction coefficient in relation to pitting wear resistance during the rolling-sliding contact …

In the present investigation, the use of a bainitic steel for forged gears applications and the
suitability of different plasma nitriding treatments is discussed. The gears were forged …

In the present paper a research programme aimed at investigating both the bending and
contact fatigue properties of an austempered ductile iron applied to gears is presented, in …

Surface pitting of gear teeth flanks is one of the most common causes of gear failure. The
increase of the contact fatigue strength of gears is usually achieved through the …

This work is a systematic experimental evaluation of austempered ductile iron (ADI) as a
gear material. The evaluation of this ADI as a gear material concerns two main aspects …
