Pitting failure of truck spiral bevel gear Abstract Spiral bevel gears are some of the most important elements used in truck differential. In this study, the fracture of spiral bevel gear for truck differential produced from case hardening steel is investigated. In order to study the causes of the failure,specimens prepared from the damaged spiral bevel gears were subjected to experiments, such as visual inspection,hardness, chemical analysis and metallurgical tests. Pitting occurrence on gear surfaces was observed. The effect of microstructure on the fracture was considered. Low surface hardness values were found. The calculated contact stress was higher than the allowable contact stress which is emphasized in literature. 1. Introduction Differential drives are packaged units used for a wide range of power-transmission applications. The spiral bevel gears are beginning to supersede straight-bevel gears in differential drives. They have curved oblique teeth that contact each other gradually and smoothly from one end of the tooth to the other, meshing with a rolling contact similar to helical gears (Fig. 1). They have the advantage of ensuring evenly distributed tooth loads and carry more loads without surface fatigue. Thrust loading depends on the direction of rotation and whether the spiral angle of the teeth is positive or negative [1,2]. The investigated spiral bevel gears are made of two different case hardening steel. The case hardening steel (20MnCr5, EN10084) has a low carbon–chromium and the other steel (17NiCrMo6-4, EN10084) has a low nickel–chromium–molybdenum with medium hardenability, generally supplied in the as rolled condition with a maximum brinell hardness of 280 (30 HRC). It is characterized by good core strength and toughness in small to medium sections with case hardness up to 62 HRC when carburized, hardened and tempered. These steels can also be used (uncarburized) as high tensile steel, which when suitably hardened and tempered can be utilized
