A BASIC STUDY OF THE SLIDING CONTACTS IN ROLLING BEARINGS.

Abstract

This study is concerned with 'smearing' in Hertzian contacts made of hardened steel (as in ball and roller bearings), i.e. severe wear occurrences involving macroscopic metal transfer between the surfaces. Criteria are sought for the selection of material, design and operating conditions that prevent smearing.
