Fatigue resistance and failure mechanisms of plasma

2010-10-14Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) can be dened as cracking and pitting/delamination limited to the near contact surface of bodies rolling against each other [1] For the bulk materials in rolling contact such as bearing steels the fatigue resistance and failure mechanisms have been addressed in numerous studies by using the experimental or theoretical approach [2–5]
