Prediction of Work Hardening in Bearing Steels Undergoing Rolling Contact Loading with a Dislocation-Based Model

The work hardening behaviour of GCr15 bearing steel during rolling contact fatigue (RCF) is investigated. Ball-on-rod RCF tests and micro-indentation tests are performed to obtain various subsurface hardness profiles in rod specimens. It is found that orthogonal shear stress is responsible for work...
