Investigating the material characteristics and fatigue life of 18CrNiMo7-6 carburized steel pinions affected with grinding-induced burns

Carburized steel grades are widely used in applications where high hardness at the surface is required in combination with good core toughness as well as high fatigue resistance. The process of carburizing lower to medium carbon steel can generally provide this combination of properties and has been practised for several decades. Such steel is...
