Rolling Contact Fatigue of TiN-Coated SAE 1050 Steel with Combined Surface Treatment

Experimental data on the Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) life of quenched TiN-coated SAE 1050 steel. The study by Alejo Daniel Mandri evaluates a combined surface treatment of Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating followed by induction hardening. RCF tests were performed using a washer-type fatigue tester under lubrication with ISO VG 100 oil, with results analyzed statistically and wear tracks examined via microscopy and X-ray spectroscopy.

Use Cases

• Predicting fatigue life based on surface treatment sequence and material properties described in the study.
• Analyzing wear mechanisms based on optical and scanning electron microscopy observations mentioned in the description.
• Modeling the relationship between substrate hardness and coating adhesion under contact stresses as discussed in the abstract.
• Comparing the performance of different ceramic coatings on steel substrates for tribological applications.

Strengths

• The dataset is derived from controlled experiments using a washer-type fatigue tester with a specified lubricant (ISO VG 100 industrial oil).
• Results were analyzed using statistical methods, and wear tracks were studied with multiple techniques including optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).
• The study investigates a specific and novel treatment sequence (TiN PVD coating followed by induction hardening) on a defined material (SAE 1050 steel).

Limitations

• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale ML tasks.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
