Brinelling is a type of damage that occurs in bearings, gears, or other mechanical components when they are subjected to excessive load or impact. It is characterized by the creation of small, permanent indentations or permanent deformation on the surface of the component, typically in the raceway of a bearing. This indenting occurs due to the localized stress exceeding the material's yield strength, which can lead to premature wear, increased friction, and eventual failure of the component.
