Abstract
Scuffing failure in high-speed aviation gears is a critical issue that hinders the improvement of operating performance and reliability in modern aviation equipment. The unclear failure mechanism limits the effective design of anti-scuffing measures. In this study, a scuffing test method was designed for high-speed aviation gears to investigate the effects of tooth profiles and surface treatment on the gear scuffing performance. The results indicate that both the pressure angle and surface treatment significantly affect gear scuffing behavior. Under different geometric treatment states, the range of the Ryder load stages at which gear scuffing initiated was between 5 and 13. The 25° pressure angle gear with barrel finishing treatment exhibited the optimal anti-scuffing performance. Compared to the ground state, barrel finishing increases gear scuffing loading capacity by 30% to 33%. Tooth profile optimization based on pressure angle changes improves gear loading capacity by 56.9%. This work provides an exploration of the anti-scuffing design of high-speed gears.
