Calculation of wear of teeth of open tooth gears

Abrasive wear and, in particular, wear of gear couplings in the presence of abrasive particles is studied. Under conditions of contact abrasive wear, with an increase in steel hardness and carbon content, the volumes of single surface damages caused by crushing of abrasive particles decrease, while the process does not qualitatively change. The direct fracture of the material in wear continues to be decisive. Keywords: gear coupling, wear, adhesion, abrasive grains, loading, friction force x.ishmuratov@mail.ru
