Residual stresses in induction-hardened gear teeth mapped by neutron diffraction

Surface-hardening treatments are used in order to enhance the resistance of mating gear teeth surfaces to wear and fatigue crack initiation. The treatments create a compressive residual stress state near the tooth surface, which acts to impede crack initiation and propagation. Accurate determination...
