The present paper is aimed at investigating the effect of porosity and microstructure on tooth root bending fatigue of small-module spur gears produced by powder metallurgy (P/M). Specifically, three steel variants differing in powder composition and alloying route were subjected either to case-hardening or sinter-hardening. The obtained results were interpreted in light of microstructural and fractographic inspections. On the basis of the Murakami a r e a method, it was found that fatigue strength is mainly dictated by the largest near-surface defect and by the hardness of the softest microstructural constituent. Owing to the very complicated shape of the critical pore, it was found that its maximum Feret diameter is the geometrical parameter that best captures the detrimental effect on fatigue.

Abstract An experimental evaluation of bending fatigue strength for austempered ductile iron (ADI) spur gears have been performed using Zwick fatigue tester. The gear material was manufactured by vertically continuous casting, in which the radius of the graphite grains is smaller. The Stress-Number of Cycles curve (S-N curve) for the bending fatigue strength of the ADI spur gears are manufactured without any specific surface treatments, and have been obtained by post-processing software. It was observed that when the reliability was 50%, the fatigue limit was 304.89 MPa. It has provided a reliable basis to rate the reliability design of the small gearboxes in automation later.

Hard surface gears drive is considering mainly how to improve the tooth root bending fatigue strength and wear resistance of the teeth. Based on the analysis of sliding ratio, coincidence degree and the gear tooth root bending fatigue strength, basic parameters of gear can be modified to improve strength. Although these gears must be cut by the standard tools, high strength gears are needed in machinery. In this research, intensity experiments were conducted with 42CrMo modified and standard hard surface gears. Experiment results show that the improvements of 42CrMo gear parameters are effective and teeth strength is improved for the modified parameters of gears.
