Influence of Slip and Lubrication Regime on the Formation of White Etching Cracks on a Two-Disc Test Rig

A common cause for maintenance and downtime in multiple fields of the mechanical transmission industries are premature rolling bearing failures due to white etching cracks (WEC). Within this work, WEC have been successfully recreated on a two-disc test rig under rolling contact loading without addit...
