Micropitting influences the pitting generation on case-carburized gears. Hence the calculation of the pitting carrying capacity may be on the unsafe side. The factors influencing the micropitting and pitting formation as well as their interactions were examined holistically by theoretical studies, experiments and measurements. The research work focused particularly on the impact of the gear size reduction. Based on the results the relevant calculation methods were modified for small gears. Furthermore, an extended theory of micropitting and pitting formation was developed.
