Foreword [The foreword, footnotes and annexes, if any, in this document are provided for informational purposes only and are not to be construed as a part of AGMA Information Sheet 925--A03, Effect of Lubrication on Gear Surface Distress.] The purpose of this information sheet is to provide the user with information pertinent to the lubrication of industrial metal gears for power transmission applications. It is intended that this document serve as a general guideline and source of information about conventional lubricants, their properties, and their general tribological behavior in gear contacts. This information sheet was developed to supplement ANSI/AGMA Standards 2101--C95 and 2001--C95. It has been introduced as an aid to the gear manufacturing and user community. Accumulation of feedback data will serve to enhance future developments and improved methods to evaluate lubricant related wear risks. It was clear from the work initiated on the revision of AGMA Standards 2001--C95 and 2101--C95 (metric version) that supporting information regarding lubricant properties and general tribological knowledge of contacting surfaces would aid in the understanding of these standards. The information would also provide the user with more tools to help make a more informed decision about the performance of a geared system. This information sheet provides sufficient information about the key lubricant parameters to enable the user to generate reasonable estimates about scuffing and wear based on the collective knowledge of theory available for these modes at this time. In 1937 Harmon Blok published his theory about the relationship between contact temperature and scuffing. This went largely unnoticed in the U.S. until the early 1950’s when Bruce Kelley showed that Blok’s method and theories correlated well with experimental data he had generated on scuffing of gear teeth. The Blok flash temperature theory began to receive serious consideration as a predictor of scuffing in gears. The methodology and theories continued to evolve through the 1950’s with notable contributions from Dudley, Kelley and Benedict in the areas of application rating factors, surface roughness effects and coefficient of friction. The 1960’s saw the evolution of gear calculations and understanding continue with computer analysis and factors addressing load sharing and tip relief issues. The AGMA Aerospace Committee began using all the available information to produce high quality products and help meet its long--term goal of manned space flight. R. Errichello introduced the SCORING+ computer program in 1985, which included all of the advancements made by Blok, Kelley, Dudley and the Aerospace Committee to that time. It became the basis for annex A of ANSI/AGMA 2101--C95 and 2001--C95 which helped predict the risk of scuffing and wear. In the 1990s, this annex formed the basis for AGMA’s contribution to ISO 13989--1. Just as many others took the original Blok theories and expanded them, the Tribology Subcommittee of the Helical Gear Rating Committee has attempted to expand the original annex A of ANSI/AGMA 2001--C95 and 2101--C95. Specifically, the subcommittee targeted the effect lubrication may have on gear surface distress. As discussions evolved, it became clear that this should be a stand alone document which will hopefully serve many other gear types. This should be considered a work in progress as more is learned about the theories and understanding of the various parameters and how they affect the life of the gear. Some of these principles are also mentioned in ISO/TR 13989--1. AGMA 925--A03 was was approved by the AGMA Technical Division Executive Committee on March 13, 2003. Suggestions for improvement of this document will be welcome. They should be sent to the American Gear Manufacturers Association, 500 Montgomery Street, Suite 350, Alexandria, Virginia 22314. iv

Effect of Lubrication on Gear Surface Distress
1 Scope This information sheet is designed to provide currently available tribological information pertaining to oil lubrication of industrial gears for power transmission applications. It is intended to serve as a general guideline and source of information about gear oils, their properties, and their general tribological behavior in gear contacts. Manufacturers and end--users are encouraged, however, to work with their lubricant suppliers to address specific concerns or special issues that may not be covered here (such as greases). The equations provided herein allow the user to calculate specific oil film thickness and instantaneous contact (flash) temperature for gears in service. These two parameters are considered critical in defining areas of operation that may lead to unwanted surface distress. Surface distress may be scuffing (adhesive wear), fatigue (micropitting and macropitting), or excessive abrasive wear (scoring). Each of these forms of surface distress may be influenced by the lubricant; the calculations are offered to help assess the potential risk involved with a given lubricant choice. Flow charts are included as aids to using the equations. This information sheet is a supplement to ANSI/ AGMA 2101--C95 and ANSI/AGMA 2001--C95. It has been introduced as an aid to the gear manufacturing and user community. Accumulation of feedback data will serve to enhance future developments and improved methods to evaluate lubricant related surface distress.
AGMA 925--A03
It was clear from the work on the revision of standard ANSI/AGMA 2001--C95 (ANSI/AGMA 2101--C95, metric version) that supporting information regarding lubricant properties and general tribological understanding of contacting surfaces would aid in understanding of the standard and provide the user with more tools to make an informed decision about the performance of a geared system. One of the key parameters is the estimated film thickness. This is not a trivial calculation, but one that has significant impact on overall performance of the gear pair. It is considered in performance issues such as scuffing, wear, and surface fatigue. This information sheet provides sufficient information about key lubricant parameters to enable the user to generate reasonable estimates about surface distress based on the collective knowledge available. Blok [1] published his contact temperature equation in 1937. It went relatively unnoticed in the U.S. until Kelley [2] showed that Blok’s method gave good correlation with Kelley’s experimental data. Blok’s equation requires an accurate coefficient of friction. Kelley found it necessary to couple the coefficient of friction to surface roughness of the gear teeth. Kelley recognized the importance of load sharing by multiple pairs of teeth and gear tooth tip relief, but he did not offer equations to account for those variables. Dudley [3] modified Kelley’s equation by adding derating factors for application, misalignment and dynamics. He emphasized the need for research on effects of tip relief, and recommended applying Blok’s method to helical gears. In 1958, Kelley [4] changed his surface roughness term slightly. Benedict and Kelley [5] published their equation for variable coefficient of friction derived from disc tests. The AGMA Aerospace Committee began investigating scuffing in 1960, and Lemanski [6] published results of a computer analysis that contains data for 90 spur and helical gearsets, and formed the terms for AGMA 217.01 [7], which was published in 1965. It used Dudley’s modified Blok/Kelley equation and included factors accounting for load sharing and tip relief.

The SCORING+ computer program [8] was released in 1985. It incorporated all advancements made by Blok, Kelley, Dudley and AGMA 217.01. In addition, it added several improvements including: -- Helical gears were analyzed by resolving the load in the normal plane and distributing the normal load over the minimum length of the contact lines. The semi--width of the Hertzian contact band was calculated based on the normal relative radius of curvature; -- Derating factors for application, misalignment and dynamics were explicit input data; -- Options for coefficient of friction were part of input data, including a constant 0.06 (as prescribed by Kelley and AGMA 217.01), a constant under user control, and a variable coefficient based on the Benedict and Kelley equation. SCORING+ and AGMA 217.01 both use the same value for the thermal contact coefficient of BM = 16.5 N/[mm⋅s0.5⋅K], and they calculate the same contact temperature for spur gears if all derating factors are set to unity. Annex A of ANSI/AGMA 2101--C95 and ANSI/ AGMA 2001--C95 was based on SCORING+ and included methods for predicting risk of scuffing based on contact temperature and risk of wear based on specific film thickness. This information sheet expands the information in annex A of ANSI/AGMA 2101--C95 and ANSI/AGMA 2001--C95 to include many aspects of gear tribology.

4.1.2 Distances along the line of action Figure 1 is the line of action shown in a transverse plane. Distances Cj are measured from the interference point of the pinion along the line of action. Distance CA locates the pinion start of active profile (SAP) and distance CE locates the pinion end of active profile (EAP). The lowest and highest point of single--tooth--pair contact (LPSTC and HPSTC) are located by distances CB and CD, respectively. Distance CC locates the operating pitch point. CF is the distance between base circles along the line of action. (15)

4.3 Load sharing factor The load sharing factor accounts for load sharing between succeeding pairs of teeth as influenced by profile modification, and whether the pinion or gear is the driving member. By convention, the load sharing factor is represented by a polygonal function on the line of action with magnitude equal to 1.0 between points B and D (see figure 3). The load sharing factor is strongly influenced by profile modification of the tooth flanks of both gears. On the other hand, profile modifications are chosen such that load sharing follows a desired function. The following equations give the load sharing factor for unmodified tooth profiles, and for three typical cases of profile modifications.

Lubricants are commonly referred to by their base type, for example mineral or synthetic, and their viscosity, usually in relation to a defined viscosity grade. Viscosity is one of the basic and very important properties of a lubricant and is used extensively in tribological calculations. Viscosity is a bulk property of a fluid, semi--fluid or semi--solid substance that causes it to resist flow. In addition to the basic composition and structure of the material, viscosity decreases with increasing temperature and increases with increasing pressure. For a liquid under shear, the rate of deformation or shear rate is proportional to the shearing stress. This relationship is Newton’s law, which essentially states that the ratio of the stress to the shear rate is a constant. That constant is viscosity. Dynamic viscosity, η, sometimes referred to as absolute viscosity, is defined by equation 59.

Lubricants used in industry today, however, have their viscosity measured by capillary viscometers which provide a kinematic viscosity. Kinematic viscosity, ν, is the ratio of dynamic viscosity, η, to the density, ρ, at a specified temperature and pressure (see equation 60).

then
Under Newton’s law, viscosity is independent of shear rate. Fluids such as these are referred to as Newtonian fluids. Most conventional, single grade lubricants made with a relatively low molecular weight base stock (non--polymeric) are considered Newtonian fluids. However, there are fluids that do not exhibit this ideal behavior because their viscosity is not independent of shear rate. These are usually finished blends containing higher molecular weight polymers (viscosity modifiers or viscosity index improvers, as well as pour point depressants) that are sensitive to shear rate. Some exhibit shear thinning, whereas others result in shear thickening. It is more common in gear lubricant applications to find shear thinning relationships due to the nature of the polymers typically used in these formulations. This shear thinning translates into lower effective viscosities in the contact region under operation than might be expected from a non--polymer blend of similar viscosity.
Another common numeric designation that provides information about the viscosity--temperature relationship of a fluid is the viscosity index or VI. The viscosity index of a fluid can be calculated by ASTM method D2270 [11]. This arbitrary measure gives a relative viscosity--temperature sensitivity for a given oil. The higher the value the less change in viscosity with temperature.
Lubricant viscosity varies inversely with temperature. A truly ideal fluid would have a viscosity that is constant over all temperature. ASTM method D341 [10] can be used to obtain the viscosity--temperature relationship. A simplified form can be used to estimate the kinematic viscosity of a fluid at a given temperature if there is some viscometric information available for the fluid at two other temperatures (see equation 61).

5.1.2 Viscosity--pressure relationship Equally important to temperature on the fluid viscosity is the pressure acting on it. This is especially important in highly loaded contacts such as gears and rolling element bearings where pressures can easily exceed 1 GPa. The viscosity of lubricant trapped in a concentrated contact increases exponentially with pressure. In 1893, C. Barus established an empirical equation to describe the isothermal viscosity--pressure relationship for a given liquid as shown in equation 64. (64)

is pressure--viscosity coefficient, mm2/N.
Today the model continues to be refined. So and Klaus [12] provided a comparison of the many models developed since the Barus equation was first introduced. The continued research aided by the development of high pressure rheology techniques to generate empirical information have shown that the viscosity--pressure response of a fluid is also related to its chemical structure [13, 14, 15]. This can have a profound effect on the film forming capabilities of the fluid in question and the overall life of the component involved. 5.2 Film thickness equation
A and B can be determined by solving equation 61 simultaneously with equations 62 and 63, using the kinematic viscosity of the fluid measured at standard temperatures of 40°C and 100°C. B=

Dowson, Higginson and Toyoda have authored various papers on EHL film thickness [16, 17, 18, 19]. The film thickness equations given in these papers account for the exponential increase of lubricant viscosity with pressure, tooth geometry, velocity of the gear teeth, material elastic properties and the transmitted load. The film thickness determines the operating regime of the gearset and

Wellauer and Holloway [20] also found that specific film thickness could be correlated with the probability of tooth surface distress.

Since dynamic viscosity is generally available at 40°C and 100°C, equations 70 and 72 are modified in equations 71 and 73 to incorporate terms corresponding to those temperatures.

The specific film thickness is the ratio of film thickness divided by the composite roughness of the contacting gear teeth and can be used to assess performance. To determine this ratio, the cutoff wavelength for the composite surface roughness measurement (σx) should be comparable to the width of the Hertzian contact, 2b H . This results in σx becoming σ 2b as i

6 Scuffing 6.1 General The term scuffing as used in this information sheet is defined as localized damage caused by solid--phase welding between surfaces in relative motion. It is accompanied by transfer of metal from one surface to another due to welding and subsequent tearing, and may occur in any highly loaded contact where the oil film is too thin to adequately separate the surfaces. Scuffing appears as a matte, rough finish due to the microscopic tearing at the surface. It occurs most commonly at extreme end regions of the contact path or near points of single tooth contact. Scuffing is also known generically as severe adhesive wear. Scoring was a term commonly used in the U.S. to describe the same phenomenon now defined as scuffing (welding and tearing of mating surfaces). See ANSI/AGMA 1010--E95 or ISO 10825:1995. 6.1.1 Mechanism of scuffing The basic mechanism of scuffing is caused by intense frictional heat generated by a combination of high sliding velocity and high contact stress. Scuffing occurs under thin film, boundary lubrication conditions and can be affected by physical and chemical properties of the lubricant, nature of the oxide films, and gear material. When gear teeth are separated by a thick lubricant film, contact between surface asperities is minimized and there is usually no scuffing. As lubricant film thickness decreases, asperity contact increases and scuffing becomes more probable. A very thin film, such as in boundary lubrication, together with a high contact temperature suggests a high probability of scuffing is possible in the absence of antiscuff additives in the lubricant. 6.1.2 Probability of scuffing Blok’s [1] contact temperature theory states that scuffing will occur in gear teeth that are sliding under boundary--lubricated conditions, when the maximum contact temperature reaches a critical magnitude. The contact temperature is the sum of two components: the flash temperature and the tooth temperature. See 6.4. Scuffing most commonly occurs at one of the two extreme end regions of the contact path or near the points of single tooth contact.
AGMA 925--A03
Prediction of the probability of scuffing is possible by comparing the calculated contact temperature with limiting scuffing temperature. The limiting scuffing temperature can be calculated from an appropriate gear scuffing test, or can be provided by field investigations. For non--additive mineral oils, each combination of oil and gear materials has a limiting scuffing temperature that is constant regardless of the operating conditions. It is believed that the limiting scuffing temperature is not constant for synthetic and high--additive EP lubricants, and it must be determined from tests that closely simulate the operating condition of the gearset. 6.2 Flash temperature The flash temperature is the calculated increase in gear tooth surface temperature at a given point along the line of action resulting from the combined effects of gear tooth geometry, load, friction, velocity and material properties during operation. 6.2.1 Fundamental temperature, θ fl

In this equation, the coefficient of friction may be approximated by different expressions, for instance as proposed by Kelley [2, 4] and AGMA 217.01 [7]. The influence of surface roughness is incorporated in the approximation of the coefficient of friction. 6.2.2 Mean coefficient of friction, m m
i
The mean coefficient of friction is an approximation of the actual coefficient of friction on the tooth flank, which is an instantaneous and local value depending on several properties of the oil, surface roughness, lay of the surface irregularities like grinding marks, material properties, tangential velocities, forces and dimensions. Three methods may be used to determine the value of m m to be used in equation 84. i
-- input a value based upon experience, which is a constant; -- input a value from equation 85, which is also a constant; -- input a value from equation 88, which varies along the line of action. 6.2.2.1 Approximation by a constant A constant coefficient of friction along the line of action has been assumed by AGMA 217.01 [7] and Kelley [2]: m m = m m const = 0.06 × C R i avg

For martensitic steels the range of heat conductivity, λM , is 41 to 52 N/[s K] and the product of density times the specific heat per unit mass, ρM ¢ cM is about 3.8 N/[mm2K], so that the use of the average value BM = 13.6 N/[mm s0.5 K] for such steels will not introduce a large error when the thermal contact coefficient is unknown. 6.2.4 Maximum flash temperature To locate and determine the maximum flash temperature, the flash temperature should be calculated

tion, an accurate value of the gear tooth temperature be used for the analysis.
If the contact temperature (see 6.4) is greater than the mean scuffing temperature (see 6.5) for the lubricant being used, there is a potential risk for scuffing (see 6.5.5).
6.3.3 Thermal network
6.3 Tooth temperature The tooth temperature, θM, is the equilibrium temperature of the surface of the gear teeth before they enter the contact zone. In some cases [26], the tooth temperature may be significantly higher than the temperature of the oil supplied to the gear mesh. 6.3.1 Rough approximation For a very rough approximation, the tooth temperature may be estimated by the sum of the oil temperature, taking into account some impediment in heat transfer for spray lubrication if applicable, and a portion that depends mainly on the flash temperature, for which the maximum value is taken: θ M = k sump θ oil + 0.56 θ fl max where
(91)
The tooth temperature can be measured by testing, or determined according to experience.
The tooth temperature can be calculated from a thermal network analysis [43] (see figure 12). The tooth temperature is determined by the heat flow balance in the gearbox. There are several sources of frictional heat, of which the most important ones are the tooth friction and the bearing friction. Other heat sources, like seals and oil flow, may also contribute. For gear pitchline velocities above 80 m/s, churning loss, expulsion of oil between meshing teeth, and windage loss become important heat sources that should be considered. Heat is conducted and transferred to the environment by conduction, convection and radiation. 6.4 Contact temperature 6.4.1 Contact temperature at any point At any point on the line of action (see figure 13) the contact temperature is: (92)

The scuffing temperature is assumed to be a characteristic value for the material--lubricant system of a gear pair, to be determined by gear tests with the same material--lubricant system. When θB max (see figure 13) reaches the scuffing temperature of the system, scuffing is likely. The mean scuffing temperature is the temperature at which there is a 50% chance of scuffing. 6.5.1 Mean scuffing temperature for mineral oils Scuffing temperatures for mineral oils with low concentrations of antiscuff additives are independent of operating conditions. Viscosity grade is a convenient index of oil composition, and thus of scuffing temperature. Equations 94 and 95 are approximate guides for mineral oils and steels typical of IAE and FZG test 20

proposed which may support the gear geometry and rotor dimensions most suitable to the gear application. Gear drives cover a wide field of operating conditions from relatively low pitch line velocities with high specific tooth loads, to very high pitch line velocities and moderate specific tooth loads. Lubricants vary, as well, between mineral oils with little or no additives to antiscuff lubricants with substantial additives. The flash temperature method described in 6.2 through 6.5 is based on Blok’s contact temperature theory. The flash temperature, θfl, must be added to the steady gear tooth temperature, θM, to give the total contact temperature, θB. The value of the contact temperature for every point in the contact zone must be less than the mean scuffing temperature of the material--lubricant system or scuffing may occur. 6.6.1 Integral temperature method The integral temperature method [29] has been proposed as an alternative to the flash temperature method by which the influence of the gear geometry imposes a critical energy level based on the integrated temperature distribution (for example, numerically integrating using Simpson’s rule) along a path of contact and adopting a steady gear tooth temperature. This method involves the calculation of a scuffing load basically independent of speed, but controlled by gear geometry. Application requires comparison of the proposed gearset based on a test rig result to a known test rig gearset and tested oil. A comparison of the flash temperature method and integral temperature method has shown the following:

6.6 Alternative scuffing risk evaluation The calculation of the scuffing load capacity is a very complex problem. Several alternative methods are
-- Blok’s method and the integral temperature method give essentially the same assessment of scuffing risk for most gearsets; -- Blok’s method and the integral temperature method give different assessments of scuffing risk for those cases where there are local temperature peaks. These cases usually occur in gearsets that have low contact ratio, contact near the base circle, or other sensitive geometries; -- Blok’s method is sensitive to local temperature peaks because it is concerned with the maximum instantaneous temperature, whereas the integral temperature method is insensitive to these peaks because it averages the temperature distribution.

7 Surface fatigue (micro-- and macropitting)
6.6.2 Other scuffing methods 6.6.2.1 PVT Method
7.1 General information
Almen [30] popularized the PVT method for predicting scuffing where: P
is Hertzian pressure;
V
is sliding velocity;
T
is distance along line of action.
PVT was used during World War II by designers in automotive and aircraft industries. It worked well for a narrow range of gear designs, but was unreliable when extrapolated to other gear applications. 6.6.2.2 Borsoff scoring factor method Borsoff [31, 32, 33, 34] conducted many scuffing tests during the 1950’s and found scuffing resistance increased when test gears were run at high speeds. Borsoff introduced a scoring factor, Sf: 2b Sf = v H s
(97)
where Sf
is contact time, ms (sec ¢ 10 --3);
bH
is semi--width of Hertzian contact band, mm;
vs
is sliding velocity, m/s.
Sf is the time required for a point on one tooth to traverse the Hertzian band of the mating tooth. Borsoff’s test data showed a linear relationship between scuffing load and scoring factor, Sf. Borsoff recommended that a number of considerations should be made before using his method for specific applications. 6.6.2.3 Simplified scuffing criteria for high speed gears Annex B of ANSI/AGMA 6011--H98 [35] has been used to evaluate scuffing risk of high speed gear applications. There are other methods for evaluating scuffing of gear teeth not mentioned here. Other methods may also have application merit. Most importantly, the gear designer should recognize scuffing as a gear design criteria. 22
Surface fatigue, commonly referred to as pitting or spalling, is a wear mode that results in loss of material as a result of repeated stress cycles acting on the surface. There are two major sub--groups under surface fatigue known as micro-- and macropitting. As their names imply, the type of pitting is related to the size of the pit. Macropits usually can be seen with the naked eye as irregular shaped cavities in the surface of the tooth. Damage beginning on the order of 0.5 to 1.0 mm in diameter is considered to be a macropit. The number of stress cycles occurring before failure is referred to as the fatigue life of the component. The surface fatigue life of a gear is inversely proportional to the contact stress applied. Although contact stress is probably the major factor governing life, there are many others that influence life. These include design factors such as tip relief and crowning, surface roughness, physical and chemical properties of the lubricant and its additive system, and external contaminants such as water and hard particulate matter. 7.2 Micropitting Micropitting is a fatigue phenomenon that occurs in Hertzian contacts that operate in elastohydrodynamic or boundary lubrication regimes and have combined rolling and sliding. Besides operating conditions such as load, speed, sliding, temperature and specific film thickness, the chemical composition of a lubricant strongly influences micropitting. Damage can start during the first 105 to 106 stress cycles with generation of numerous surface cracks. The cracks grow at a shallow angle to the surface forming micropits that are about 10 – 20 mm deep by about 25 -- 100 mm long and 10 – 20 mm wide. The micropits coalesce to produce a continuous fractured surface which appears as a dull, matte surface to the observer. Micropitting is the preferred name for this mode of damage, but it has also been referred to as grey staining, grey flecking, frosting, and peeling. Although micropitting generally occurs with heavily loaded, carburized gears, it also occurs with nitrided, induction hardened and through--hardened gears. Micropitting may arrest after running--in. If micropitting continues to progress, however, it may result in
AMERICAN GEAR MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION
reduced gear tooth accuracy, increased dynamic loads and noise. Eventually, it can progress to macropitting and gear failure. 7.2.1 Micropitting risk evaluation Factors that influence micropitting are gear tooth geometry, surface roughness, lubricant viscosity, coefficient of friction, load, tangential speed, oil temperature and lubricant additives. Common methods suggested for reducing the probability of micropitting include:
AGMA 925--A03
turning or branching back to the surface. Eventually, material will dislodge from the surface forming a pit, an irregular shaped cavity in the surface of the material. With gears the origin of the crack is more likely surface initiated because lubricant film thickness is low resulting in a high amount of asperity or metal--to--metal contact. For high--speed gears with smooth surface finishes, film thickness is larger and sub--surface initiated crack formation may dominate. In these cases an inclusion or small void in the material is a source for stress concentration.

7.4 Regimes of lubrication
-- use additives with demonstrated micropitting resistance; -- protect gear teeth during run--in with suitable coatings, such as manganese phosphate, copper or silver plating. CAUTION: Silver or copper plating of carburized gear elements will cause hydrogen embrittlement, which could result in a reduction in bending strength and fatigue life. Thermal treatment shortly after plating may reduce this effect.
Surface roughness strongly influences the tendency to micropit. Gears finished to a mirrorlike finish have been reported to eliminate micropitting [36, 37, 38]. Gear teeth have maximum micropitting resistance when the teeth of the high speed member are harder than the mating teeth and are as smooth as possible [39]. Currently there is no standard test for determining micropitting resistance of lubricants. However, FVA Information Sheet 54/IV describes a test that uses the FZG C--GF type gears to rank micropitting performance of oils [40]. At present, the influence of lubricant additives is unresolved. Therefore, the micropitting resistance of a lubricant should be determined by field testing on actual gears or by laboratory tests. 7.3 Macropitting Macropitting is also a fatigue phenomenon. Cracks can initiate either at or near the surface of a gear tooth. The crack usually propagates for a short distance at a shallow angle to the surface before
7.4.1 Introduction to regimes of lubrication Gear rating standards have progressed and been refined to take into account many of the major variables that affect gear life. With respect to calculated stress numbers, variables such as load distribution, internally induced dynamic loading and externally induced dynamic loading are accounted for by derating factors. Variables such as material quality, cycle life and reliability are accounted for by allowable stress numbers, stress cycle factors and reliability factors. Along with these influences, it has been recognized that adequate lubrication is necessary for gears to realize their calculated capacity. Indeed, AGMA gearing standards have acknowledged this fact by stating this need as a requirement in order to apply the various rating methods. Much of the groundwork for lubrication theory came about in the 1960’s and 1970’s. This period saw the advent and proliferation of jet travel, space travel, advanced manufacturing processes and advanced power needs. These technological and industrial developments led to the need for better gear rating methods which, in turn, resulted in rapid progress in industrial, vehicle and aerospace gearing standards. High speed gearing was coming into greater use, but it was not as well understood as the industry would have liked. To compensate, designs tended to focus on making higher speed stages of gearing more successful, sometimes to the detriment of slower speed stages. This is how the gearing industry
23
AGMA 925--A03
AMERICAN GEAR MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION
started to get its first glimpses into the importance of lubrication on the life of gearing.
defined the three regimes of lubrication at the operating pitch diameter as follows:
It was not uncommon to see a three (3) stage industrial gear drive with problems as follows: a high speed set of gears that looked relatively undamaged, an intermediate speed set of gears that was experiencing initial pitting, and a slow speed set of gears that was experiencing advanced pitting and tooth breakage. In the event that all three stages were designed to have similar load intensity factors (K--factors and unit loads) the problem could be particularly puzzling. Rating theory at the time indicated that with all other things equal, the higher speed stages of gearing should have been failing sooner than the lower speed stages, due to greater stress cycles.
-- Regime III: Full EHL oil film is developed and separates the asperities of gear flanks in motion relative to one another;
At issue was the tribological condition between surfaces of two mating teeth. Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) theory showed that factors like relative surface velocity and local oil viscosity at the contact area directly affected thickness of the EHL oil film that separated asperities on surfaces of two mating gear teeth. For a multiple stage gear reducer, higher speed stages of gearing, with higher surface velocities, tended to produce thicker EHL oil films, better capable of separating asperities on mating teeth. Lower speed stages, with lower surface velocities, tended to produce thinner EHL oil films, less capable of separating asperities on mating teeth. Through the years, a great many researchers and companies inside and outside of the gear industry have sought to quantify the effects of EHL oil film theory on the life of gearing. There are many ways in which one could hypothesize the effects of inadequate oil films on degradation of gear tooth surfaces and its results on the life of gearing. Indeed, a comprehensive treatment of this subject could fill many volumes. Added to this is the fact that this is still a very active area of gear research. With this in mind, it is still useful to put forth a simplified description of how inadequate oil films can lead to decreased life of gears. So, very simply put, thinner oil films lead to a greater chance of more frequent and more detrimental degree of contact between asperities on mating gear teeth. The more severe this is, the more likely it will lead to pitting, a recognized form of surface fatigue in gearing. The effects of this phenomenon on the fatigue life of gearing were introduced by Bowen [41]. Dudley [42] 24
-- Regime II: Partial EHL oil film is developed and there is occasional contact of the asperities of gear flanks in motion relative to one another; -- Regime I: Only boundary lubrication exists with essentially no EHL film and contact of the asperities of gear flanks in motion relative to one another is pronounced. The implementation of this theory involves what is currently referred to as the stress cycle factor for the surface durability of gears, ZN, (this used to be called the life factor for surface durability). Keeping in mind that regime of lubrication depends ultimately on the degree of separation between asperities, Dudley proposed that the effect could be quantified by making proper adjustments to the curves that determine the stress cycle factor. Thus, we have as follows: 7.4.2 Regime III This regime of lubrication, characterized by full EHL oil film development, occurs mainly when gears have relatively high pitch line velocity, good care is taken to ensure that an adequate supply of clean, cool oil is available (of adequate viscosity and formulation), and good surface finishes are achieved on the gearing. As such, aerospace gearing, high speed marine gearing, and good quality industrial gear drives tend to have gears that operate within regime III. Thus, stress cycle factor curves that appear in standards for these gears are the basis for rating gears that operate within regime III. 7.4.3 Regime II This regime of lubrication, characterized by partial EHL oil film development, occurs mainly when gears have moderate pitch line velocities, moderate care is taken to ensure that an adequate supply of clean, cool oil is available (of adequate viscosity and formulation), and moderately good surface finishes are achieved on the gearing. As such, vehicle gearing is very characteristic of gears that operate within regime II. Dudley uses information from the stress cycle factor curves in vehicle standards to create a branch from the regime III curve for cycles greater than 100 000. It is felt that effects of operation within regime II on fatigue life will not begin to be realized until this point in the life of a gear.

7.4.4 Regime I This regime of lubrication, characterized by boundary lubrication, occurs mainly when gears have low pitch line velocities, little care is taken to ensure that an adequate supply of clean, cool oil is available (of adequate viscosity and formulation), and relatively rough surface finishes are achieved on the gearing. Many types of gearing can fall into this range of operation, including all types mentioned above. Dudley used fatigue curves generated for ball and roller bearings as a basis for regime I stress cycle factor curves. These curves, first developed in the 1940’s, indicated that with a ten--fold increase in
AGMA 925--A03
cycles, load capacity of a bearing drops off by a factor of 2.0. Thus, a stress curve for Hertzian contact would drop off by about a factor of 1.41 (square root of 2.0). Bearings back in the 1940’s commonly had surface finishes and oil films very analogous to gears operating in regime I. This information is used to create a branch from the regime III curve at cycles greater than 100 000. Figure 14 shows the curves that result from Dudley’s method of regimes of lubrication. Below, the method is described in fuller detail and calculations are given to show how one assesses which regime of lubrication should be applied to a given set of gears.

7.5 Estimating life with respect to surface durability After calculating the minimum EHL film thickness based on 5.2, one must calculate the specific film thickness. In figure 14, specific film thicknesses greater than or equal to 1.0 indicate the beginning of regime III and the end of regime II lubrication. Specific film thicknesses between 0.4 and 1.0 indicate operation within regime II and specific film thicknesses less than or equal to 0.4 indicate regime I. Once the regime of lubrication is determined, one can calculate the stress cycle factor, ZN, shown in figure 14. ZN is used to calculate gear rating in ANSI/AGMA 2101--C95.
8 Wear Wear is a term describing change to a gear tooth surface involving removal or displacement of material, due to mechanical, chemical or electrical action. In the boundary lubrication regime, some wear is inevitable. Many gears, because of practical limits on lubricant viscosity, speed and temperature, must operate under boundary lubricated conditions. Mild wear occurs during running--in and usually subsides with time, resulting in a tolerable wear rate and a satisfactory lifetime for the gearset. Wear that occurs during running--in may be beneficial if it smoothes tooth surfaces (increasing specific film thickness) and increases the area of contact by removing minor imperfections through local wear. The amount of wear that is tolerable depends on the expected lifetime for the gearset, and on requirements for noise and vibration. Wear rate may become excessive if tooth profiles are worn to the extent that high dynamic loads are encountered. Excessive wear may also be caused by contamination of the lubricant by abrasive particles. When wear becomes aggressive and is not preempted by scuffing or bending fatigue, wear and pitting will likely compete for the predominate failure mode. 8.1 Abrasive wear Abrasive wear is removal or displacement of material due to the presence of hard particles suspended in 26

the lubricant or embedded in flanks of mating teeth. The choice of lubricant usually does not have any direct effect on abrasive wear. Abrasive particles can be present, however, as debris from other forms of wear such as fatigue pitting and adhesion. The lubricant should not react with any systemic materials or with any contaminants. Products of these reactions can be abrasive. In large open gears, the film thickness of highly viscous lubricants may prevent three--body abrasion from small particles. 8.2 Wear risk evaluation The boundary lubrication regime consists of exceedingly complex interactions between additives in the lubricant, metal, and atmosphere making it impossible to assess accurately the chance of wear or scuffing from a single parameter such as specific film thickness. However, empirical data of figure 15 have been used as an approximate guide to the probability of wear related distress. Figure 15 is based on data published by Wellauer and Holloway [20] that were obtained from several hundred laboratory tests and field applications. The curves of figure 15 apply to through--hardened steel gears ranging in size from 25 mm to 4600 mm in diameter that were lubricated with mineral--based, non--EP gear lubricants. The authors [20] defined tooth flank surface distress as surface pitting or wear that might be destructive or could shorten the gear life. Most of the data of figure 15 pertain to gears that experienced lives in excess of 10 million cycles. 8.2.1 Adjustments to the surface distress and specific film thickness curves The surface distress and specific film thickness curves (figure 15) were derived from the Wellauer and Holloway curves. The curves are adjusted to account for different definitions of composite surface roughness and specific film thickness. 8.2.1.1 Average surface roughness adjustment Reference [20] used root mean square surface roughness. This information sheet uses average surface roughness. The relationship between root mean square and average surface roughness varies with the machining process. Typically, Rq x ≅ 1.11 Ra x

Specific film thickness adjustment factor is derived as follows: Wellauer and Holloway [20] defined λ as:
where Rq1x, Rq2x is root mean square surface roughness, pinion and gear respectively, for filter cutoff length, Lx, mm. Composite surface roughness used in this information sheet is root mean square average of average surface roughness, see equation 78. If Rq1x = Rq2x and Ra1x = Ra2x (similar surface roughnesses), σ x = 2 Ra1x = 2 Ra 2x
(100)
Rq x avg = Rq 1x = Rq 2x
(101)
8.2.1.3 Specific film thickness adjustment The curves of figure 15 were also adjusted for different definitions of film thickness. The Dowson and Toyoda equation for central film thickness [19],

(102)
This information sheet uses h c and σx defined by i equations 75 and 100: hc i (103) λ i = σ x Substituting adjustment factors into the equation for λ gives: λ min =

(105) λ min = 1.033 λ W&H and is used to adjust the specific film thickness provided by Wellauer and Holloway. This vertical axis adjustment is now reflected in figure 15.

Finally, the units of pitch line velocity, vt, were adjusted from feet per minute to meters per second. Note that specific film thickness is dimensionless. 8.2.2 Wear risk probability The curves of figure 15 can be fitted with the following equations:

(106) (107) (108)
Using the following definition, the mean minimum specific film thickness, mλ min, and the standard deviation, σλ min, can be calculated by simultaneous solution (two equations in two unknowns) using any two of the adjusted Wellauer and Holloway curves (5% and 40%, 40% and 80%, or 5% and 80%): x=
λ min − m λ min σ λ min
(ref [24])
(109)
where x
is value of the standard normal variable determined by probability;
λmin
is specific film thickness (equation 105);
mλ min is mean minimum specific film thickness; σλ min is standard deviation of the minimum specific film thickness. Figure 15 and equations 106 through 108 are listed in the percent failure mode, Q(x). This must first be converted to a percent survival mode, P(x), by the equation P (x) = 1 − Q (x). With P(x) known, the value “x” may be determined from the table “Normal Probability Function and Derivatives” of reference [24]. λ5%:
P (x) = 20% x 80% = − 0.84163389 Use several film thickness values from figure 15 to find how mean minimum specific film thickness, mλ min, and standard deviation of the minimum specific film thickness, σλ min, vary with pitch line velocity. An example is shown below: v t = 5 m∕s λ 5% = 0.9849 λ 40% = 0.6149 This gives the following equations that are solved for σλ min: 1.6449 = 0.2534 =
0.9849 − m λ min σ λ min 0.6149 − m λ min σ λ min
1.6449 σ λ min = 0.9849 − m λ min 0.2534 σ λ min = 0.6149 − m λ min Subtracting the bottom equation from the upper equation yields: 1.3915 σ λ min = 0.3700 σ λ min = 0.3700 = 0.2659 1.3915 Using σλ min in the first equation, mλ min is found: 1.6449 =
0.9849 − m λ min
0.2659 m λ min = 0.9849 − 1.6449 (0.2659) m λ min = 0.5475 This process was repeated for all data points along the curves in the following combinations: 5%--40%, 40%--80% and 5%--80%. Results of these calculations were averaged and the values are shown in table 7.
