Abstract

Various methods for the acceleration of Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) tests of M50 steel and hybrid M50-Si₃N₄ bearing systems were explored. The acceleration methods investigated were high Hertzian contact stress, toughening or pre-denting the rolling element surface, lubricant contaminated with Arizona Test Dust, lubricant contaminated with fine Al₂O₃ particles, and thermally degraded lubricant. The advantages and disadvantages of each method were analyzed and compared. Weibull analysis was performed on all-steel and hybrid systems in order to observe how each behaves under the various acceleration conditions. The results of the Weibull analyses will be reported in a subsequent paper. Structural changes were analyzed using conventional techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy and surface profilometry, as well as novel techniques such as atomic force microscopy.
