Abstract
The role played by particulate contamination in rolling contacts has formed the subject of much research in recent years. Bearing-steel quality has improved to a level where the long established sub-surface-inclusion based fatigue failures are being replaced by surface or near-surface initiated failures caused by surface defects resulting mainly from rolled-in debris particles. The paper reviews the reasons and mechanisms involved, and shows how particle material, size, concentration and hardness can all have effects on bearing reliability.
