For the past ten years, the industry has been actively working toward a new gear oil specification that will address the performance needs of today's vehicles. Many new or upgraded tests are already in place and are being used by the lubricant industry to develop better fluids for these applications. One key area still undefined is surface fatigue or spalling. There is currently no defined test available to predict the performance of a lubricant with respect to the surface fatigue life of a hypoid gearset. This study describes the development of a hypoid gear spalling test that is capable of differentiating oils and correlates to observed field performance.
