Tooth surface wear damage is one of the main causes of gearing system failure. Excessive wear leads to tooth profile loss and an increase in transmission errors, as the worn gear surfaces are no longer conjugate. Thus, the enhancement of gear durability against wear is important for gear application. Recent works show that cutter modification can aid in reducing the tool wear in gear processing, while the wear performance of the gears produced by modified cutters is still unknown. Therefore, this study focuses on the wear performance of the gear generated by modified cutter. Numerical results show that the wear resistance can be enhanced through proper cutter modification.

齿面磨损损坏是齿轮系统故障的主要原因之一。由于磨损的齿轮表面不再共轭，因此过度磨损会导致齿形损失和传动误差增加。因此，提高齿轮的耐磨损性对于齿轮的应用很重要。最近的工作表明，刀具改型可以帮助减少齿轮加工中的刀具磨损，而改型刀具生产的齿轮的磨损性能仍然未知。因此，本研究着眼于改进刀具产生的齿轮的磨损性能。数值结果表明，通过适当修改刀具可以提高耐磨性。
