description ObjectiveAircraft gears typically operate in extreme environments such as high temperatures, high speeds, and heavy loads, requiring excellent comprehensive performance. Surface integrity parameters have a decisive impact on gear fatigue performance. Rolling grinding is a finishing process that utilizes the mechanical action of abrasives to improve the surface integrity of workpieces. To improve the surface integrity and fatigue life of aviation gears, it is necessary to explore the behavior of the contact interface between the tooth surface and abrasive particles in gear rolling and polishing machining.MethodsA simulation model for the barrel finishing of aerospace gears was established based on the discrete element method to analyze the material removal from the gear surface. A predictive model for the three-dimensional surface roughness Sa value of gear surfaces was developed. Barrel finishing experiments were designed for 14CrMnSiNi2MoA aerospace cylindrical spur gears. The evolution of surface morphology and residual stress over time, before and after finishing, was analyzed.ResultsThe results indicate that barrel finishing significantly reduces the surface roughness of aerospace gears and increases surface compressive residual stress. However, the finishing effects vary across different positions on the tooth surface, with the abrasive action strength on the tooth surface following the pattern: near the gear tip > pitch circle > near the gear root.
