There is an excellent tutorial article by Robert Errichello which appeared in the December 2002 issue of the journal Practical Failure Analysis that is published by ASM International. (The magazine has since been renamed the Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention).
This and other articles from that magazine issue can be downloaded for free at www.ingentaconnect.com
Put "Practical Failure Analysis" in the search box, click in the "Journal or book title" circle, and then click on GO. Then point to the blue title Practical Failure Analysis and click. The F next to December 2002 denotes a free issue, so click on it to see the table of contents.
A very similar article also can be viewed on the web in html at: http://www.noria.com/learning_center/category_article.asp?articleid=150&relatedbookgroup=WearDebris
You know the mantra "Cheap Quick Good. Pick any two". When Quick and Good are important, then keep Ingentaconnect in mind. They can sell you a whole ocean of magazine articles.
If you want to learn a lot more about gear failure analysis, then, you can attend a two-day seminar that Robert Errichello presents for the American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA). See: http://www.agma.org/Content/NavigationMenu/EducationTraining/GearFailureAnalysisSeminar/default.htm
