1. Hiroyoshi Tanaka, Effect of Environmental Gas on Surface Initiated Rolling Contact Fatigue, Tribology Online, 8, 1, 90-96, 2013.01, This paper describes an exploratory study on the effects of temperature on the formation of oxide film and rolling contact fatigue life in hydrogen, argon and air. Rolling contact fatigue tests were conducted at 333 K and 363 K by using a three-ball-on-disk type apparatus. The rolling contact fatigue life in hydrogen was shorter than that in argon, and life in air was the longest. Relationship was found between fatigue life and hydrogen concentration in steel. Cross sections of the specimens show that iron oxide grew to larger grain size in the subsurface in hydrogen environment, which may have resulted in shorter fatigue life. It was also found that fatigue failure occurs on ball surface in hydrogen at 363 K..

7. 田中 宏昌, Joichi Sugimura, Suguru Ikeda, Different failure modes in rolling contact of steel under grease lubrication, STLE tribology frontier 2014, 2014.10, Rolling contact fatigue test under grease lubrication is conducted for the purpose of clarifying effect of surrounding gas on rolling contact fatigue life. The influence of temperature, atmosphere, and grease types is investigated through surface analysis, hydrogen diffused in steel, the composition of surface film and the characteristics of lubrication state. The bearing life depended on environment and lubricant, and surface failure was classified into three types in terms of surface roughness and temperature change. At higher temperature, there is a tendency that roughness becomes smaller and bearing life is extended..
8. 田中 宏昌, Joichi Sugimura, Taiki komatsu, Effects of environmental gas on decomposition of lubricant and hydrogen generation at nascent iron surface, Asiatrib2014, 2014.02, Lubricated sliding tests of iron were made in a temperature controlled chamber, and the amount of hydrogen generated was determined with gas chromatography. The lubricants used included polyalphaolephine polyorester, polypropyrenglycol and dimethyl silicone oil. It was found that the amount of hydrogen generated is significantly larger when nascent surface is continuously created than under static non-sliding conditions. It was also found that hydrogen generation is retarded when the environment gas contains more oxygen. Among the oils tested, the silicone oil showed very low hydrogen generation under non-sliding condition while it generates much greater amount of hydrogen than other lubricants..

Ball-on-disk type rolling contact fatigue tests were conducted in hydrogen and other gasses. Some of the specimens contained extra amount of hydrogen by the pre-treatment of hydrogen exposure prior to the tests.

It has been believed that hydrogen plays an important role in degrading mechanical properties of ferrous materials in rolling contact. It is necessary to study each of the effects of elementary processes at contact and slip on hydrogen permeation into steel. An experimental apparatus was used which enabled a variety of simple contact tests with cyclic normal loading and reciprocating sliding for each in controlled environment.
