Abstract
The fatigue pitting model based on the minimum oil film thickness does not consider the influence of tooth surface roughness and residual stress, which limits the accuracy of predicting the fatigue pitting of the model. Micro pitting often initiates on the surface due to large external loads. Therefore, it is urgent to propose a new-micro pitting bearing capacity model based on gear surface integrity parameters. This paper studied a new fatigue pitting model considering surface integrity subjected to polishing processes. This model thoroughly analyzes the effects of teeth surface roughness dynamically on the oil film pressure and explores the complex mechanism of residual stress in the near-surface stress field of the gear teeth. The new model can more accurately simulate the micro-pitting bearing capacity under actual operating conditions by introducing teeth surface roughness and residual stress, and the prediction reliability of gear steel is greatly improved. This improved model provides a solid theoretical basis and technical support for optimizing gear transmission systems, accurate diagnosis of micro-pitting defects, and in-depth theoretical research in related fields.
