University of Tennessee Report
In 2007, the AGMA Foundation awarded a grant to the University of
Tennessee for examining “In-situ Measurement of Stresses in
Carburized Gears via Neutron Diffraction.” The study
demonstrated that neutron diffraction methods have the potential to
measure both the residual and operating stresses in gears. The data for
statically loaded gears had sufficient resolution to show changes in
d-spacing in the carburized layer as a function of tooth load.
