Abstract
The performance of hard steel spur gears over a wide range of speed is discussed, and the necessity of distinguishing the type of lubricating film used is pointed out. The nature of scoring and its relation to contact time is discussed. Based on this relation a new scoring factor Sf is offered. The equations for the scoring factor Sf are developed and are checked by the data of three separate investigators. The results show that a straight line relationship exists between score load and scoring factor Sf. Possibilities of employing the scoring factor Sf as a universal scoring parameter for all mechanical elements subjected to scoring are suggested.
