Extract

Peeling is a surface fatigue failure of a roller bearing that consists of many shallow pits less than 10 pm in depth and cracks that link the pits. Peeling occurs rather easily on a smooth Surface when in contact with a rough surface under insufficient thickness of the lubricating oil film.

X-ray residual stress measurements on and under the contact surface after a peeling test revealed that the 2θ versus sin2ψ curve is not linear and that it curves depending upon the rolling contact condition and especially upon the existence of slip. Nonlinearity of the 2θ-sin2ψ) curve has been reported by Wakabayashi in a study of residual stress accompanying the grinding of soft steel and by Faninger in a study of residual stress due to rolling contact with annealed steel, but hot in the case of high hardness steel such as ball bearing steel. No complete explanation of this non-linearity has been made as yet.
