Contact fatigue failure refers to failure caused by alternating stress on the working surface of the bearing. Contact fatigue spalling occurs on the working surface of NTN bearings, and is often accompanied by fatigue cracks. It first occurs from the maximum alternating shear stress below the contact surface, and then expands to the surface to form different spalling shapes, such as pitting or pitting spalling. , peeling off into small flakes is called shallow peeling. Due to the gradual expansion of the peeling surface, it often extends to deep layers, forming deep peeling. Deep spalling is a fatigue source of contact fatigue failure.
