Time Shortening Testing Methodology Applied on Gears with Non-Standard Tooth Flank Surface

One of the aims of research is experimental verification of methods for non - standard increasing of operation life depending on flank damage (pitting) of case-hardened gears. There were tested gears with the coated pinion by WC layer (HVOF technology) and gears with the case-hardened pinion with the ion-implanted CrN and TiN on the teeth flanks created by IBAD technology (Ion Beam Assisted Depositioin).
