Abstract (EN):
This paper enhances actual knowledge of the properties of austempered ductile iron (ADI) as a gear material. Results from scuffing tests performed with ADI gears on a FZG test rig are presented and discussed. Contact condition analysis is done using elasto-hydrodynamic theory along with several experimental techniques, as surface electronic scanning microscopy, metallurgical spectroscopy and lubricant ferrographic analysis.
