Heat Treatment Of Gears

Annotation Rakhit wants other engineers to avoid the considerable trouble he had understanding the art of gear heat treatment when he first embarked on a career in gear design and manufacturing. He explains how heat treating and gears made of some kinds of steel gives the gears high geometric accuracy, but can also distort them and raise the cost of manufacturing, so a gear engineer needs to excel in manufacturing, lubrication, life and failure analysis, and machine design as well as design. He presents a case history of each successful gear heat treatment process that provide information on the quality of gear that can be expected with the proper control of material and processes.

All of the critical technical aspects of gear materials technology are addressed in this new reference work. Gear Materials, Properties, and Manufacture is intended for gear metallurgists and materials specialists, manufacturing engineers, lubrication technologists, and analysts concerned with gear failures who seek a better understanding of gear performance and gear life. This volume complements other gear texts that emphasize the design, geometry, and theory of gears. The coverage begins with an overview of the various types of gears used, important gear terminology, applied stresses and strength requirements associated with gears, and lubrication and wear. This is followed by in-depth treatment of metallic (ferrous and nonferrous alloys) and plastic gear materials. Emphasis is on the properties of carburized steels, the material of choice for high-performance power transmission gearing.

One of two self-contained volumes belonging to the newly revised Steel Heat Treatment Handbook, Second Edition, this book focuses on process design, equipment, and testing used in steel heat treatment. Steel Heat Treatment: Equipment and Process Design presents the classical perspectives that form the basis of heat treatment processes while

provides the latest knowledge and information on scientific andvances, technology innovations, and commercial practice in heat treating. Features contributions from leading experts from around the world.

This vintage book contains a comprehensive treatise on the hardening, tempering, annealing, and case-hardening of various kinds of steel, including high-speed, high-carbon, alloy, and low carbon steels. Heat-Treatment of Steel is highly recommended for modern metal work enthusiasts and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. The contents include: - Hardening Carbon Steels - Heating the Steel for Hardening - Quenching and Tempering - Heat-Treatment of High-Speed Steel - Heat-Treatment of Alloy Steels - Heat-Treatment of Steel by the Electric Furnace - Metallic-Salt Bath Electric Furnace - Miscellaneous types of Electric Furnaces Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on metal work.

This book presents practical gearbox design and application information to individuals responsible for the specification and operation of mechanical systems incorporating gear drives. It focuses on parallel shaft and planetary units using spur and helical gearing.
