THE ROLE OF PORES AND MICROSTRUCTURAL HETEROGENEITY ON THE TOOTH ROOT FATIGUE STRENGTH OF SINTERED SPUR GEARS

The role of pores and microstructural heterogeneity on the tooth root fatigue strength of sintered spur gears

The automotive industry employs a considerable amount of sintered parts, mainly as transmission and engine components.Gears are the parts that mostly benefit, in terms of cost saving, from the near net shape P/M technology.However, the porosity along with the heterogeneous microstructure can detrimentally affect the mechanical behaviour, especially
