Contact fatigue strength of 41CrAlMo7 grade steel by nitriding and shot-peening treatment

This paper describes the method of raising contact fatigue strength, designated for application in the manufacture of gears. Investigations were carried out on 41CrAlMo7 grade steel (closest equivalent: Nitralloy 135M) following quenching and tempering, nitriding and double shot-peening. Special...

Zusammenfassung:This paper describes the method of raising contact fatigue strength, designated for application in the manufacture of gears. Investigations were carried out on 41CrAlMo7 grade steel (closest equivalent: Nitralloy 135M) following quenching and tempering, nitriding and double shot-peening. Special emphasis should be placed on the combination of the nitriding and shot-peening technologies. Both nitriding and shot-peening have been significantly modified and differ from the classical processes. Nitriding was carried out in such a way as to prevent the formation on the surface of a compound layer, composed of nitrides ε and γ. Shot-peening was carried out as a double stage operation, employing a change of parameters. As the result of combining the modernized processes, a new technology was developed, allowing the attaining of a contact fatigue limit that is comparable to that obtained by carburizing or induction hardening. The paper describes the methodology and the experimental work, as well as the achieved values of contact fatigue strength. Other surface parameters are also given, such as roughness, hardness, state and distribution of residual stresses.
