Foreword

This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for standardization work Part 1: Structure and drafting rules for standardization documents" Drafting.

This document is Part 1 of GB/T (Z) 3481 Wear and damage of gear teeth. GB/T 3481(Z) has been published.

Lower part.

--- Part 1: Terms and characteristics;

--- Part 2: Supplementary information.

This document replaces GB/T 3481-1997 "Terminology for wear and damage of gear teeth". Compared with GB/T 3481-1997, except for the structural in addition to adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.

a) Added failure modes and their descriptions, including adhesive wear (see 5.6), white layer peeling (see 6.2.5), tooth surface fracture (see 6.2.6), Deep fatigue fracture (see 6.2.7), tooth root fracture (see 7.2), Brinell indentation (see 8.3), cold flow (see 8.4), hot flow (see 8.5), tooth root fillet yielding (see 8.6), interference deformation (see 8.13), hydrogen embrittlement (see 9.4), surface/core separation (see 9.8);

b) Updated the images in the file.

This document is equivalent to ISO 10825-1:2022 "Wear and damage of gear teeth — Part 1: Terms and characteristics".

The following minimal editorial changes have been made to this document.

--- Deleted the footnote "1)" of "See ISO/T R 10825-2" in the second paragraph of Chapter 4 and the corresponding footnote content (because ISO/TR 10825-2:2022 released).

Introduction

In order to more accurately describe the objective phenomena of gear wear and failure, it is necessary to first define the relevant basic concepts and give explanations to help Better communication between buyers and manufacturers to improve efficiency.

GB/T (Z) 3481 consists of two parts.

--- Part 1: Terminology and characteristics. The purpose is to give a common description of gear wear and damage and to provide consistency and coherence by explaining the gear failure mode morphology, it is easy to communicate between equipment buyers and gear manufacturers, and then Effective analysis of failure and damage. Since gear tooth wear and damage have various forms and causes, this section does not cover the causes of each type of wear and damage are analyzed and no remedial measures are provided.

--- Part 2: Supplementary information. The purpose is to help users of the standard better identify the causes of gear tooth damage and avoid potential damage.

Because some of the reasons are still under research, the contents given in this section are intended to propose more possibilities and no clear justification was given for the observed impairments. In addition, in some cases, it may be possible to reduce certain impairments while Increased risk of other types of injuries.

The above two parts are independent and complementary to each other.

1 Scope

This document provides terminology for common gear tooth wear and failure modes, classifies, identifies, and describes typical failure modes, and Provides information that can, in many cases, help the user determine the failure mode and assess the extent of the change from the initial condition.

This document is based on studies of steel gears, but many of the failure modes discussed are also applicable to gears of other materials.

The model does not fully cover the failure of gears made of these materials (such as plastic gears, bronze gears, or powdered metal gears).

Solutions to many gear problems require detailed investigation and analysis by experts and are beyond the scope of this document.

This document defines only terms that are intended to help identify and record the appearance and condition of gears after a period of operation.

The causes and preventive measures are not described in this document.

Unless otherwise specified, gears in this document generally include driving wheels and driven wheels.

This document does not define "gear failure".

2 Normative references

The contents of the following documents constitute the essential clauses of this document through normative references in this document.

For referenced documents without a date, only the version corresponding to that date applies to this document; for referenced documents without a date, the latest version (including all amendments) applies to this document.

1) Excluding ISO 1122-1:1998/Cor.1.1999 and ISO 1122-1:1998/Cor.2.2009.

3 Terms and Definitions

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 1122-1 apply.

4 Failure Classification and Modes

This document does not define gear failure. What one observer considers "failure" may be another's "run-in." There is no universal definition of failure, as whether a gear fails depends on the specific application scenario.

NOTE. "Gear failure" is a subjective concept and subject to considerable disagreement. For example, if an observer sees a gear tooth with a bright mirror-like appearance, One might think the gears have completed a good "run-in." However, another observer might think the gears have failed due to polishing wear.

The amount of change from the initial state that is considered a failure depends on the acceptability of the change.
