Evaluation of Internal Crack Growth of PPS Thrust Bearings under Rolling Contact Fatigue in Water

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, in order to evaluate the progress of internal cracks in PPS thrust bearings under rolling contact fatigue in water, cracks were observed by a full-cross-section observation method using a lathe machining. “Main subsurface crack” initiated at the surface toward the inside, then grew in a direction parallel to the surface. They connected with many “Semi-circular cracks” initiating at the surface from the opposite side to the inside, to from a semi-ellipsoidal flaking damage. It was found that the “Semi-circular cracks” and the “Main subsurface crack” dominated the flaking destruction.
