What is it about?
When bearings are used in several applications they are subjected to various and often high loading. This loading overtime results in initiating sub surface changes which are in the form of white etching bands.

Why is it important?
Bearings are extremely important components in terms of transmission of motion in several industrial applications such as machines, aerospace, automobile, turbines and generators. Therefore enhanced service life and durability of bearings in turn contribute to reliability of these equipment and systems and also reduce energy dissipation through interacting losses.
