Retained austenite in carburized gear
Thanks dbooker630 and TVP, I understand this is not a easy issue. I have found other reference about it in Gear technology, May/June 2003: "characterization of retained austenite in carburized geras and its influence on fatigue performance". I'm really grateful for your help. I think this forum...- houseman

Retained austenite in carburized gear
There are some literature about retained austenite role on pitting resistance. As I know it works increasing superficial compresive stresses due to its transformation into martensite induced by contact stress. ISO 6336-5 allows up to 25%, but such levels lower hardness. Anybody has a recomended...- houseman
