Contact fatigue tests are performed on gears. The pitting evolution of tooth surfaces is monitored by optical microscopy during the test. Wear status of gears is tracked via extracting wear debris from lubricant oil and analyzing debris quantity. After testing, gear teeth are sectioned and inspected under an electron microscope to characterize surface contact features.
