What is gear tempering treatment?

Gear tempering treatment is a special heat treatment process, the main purpose of which is to change the surface and internal structure of the gear, improve its hardness, strength, wear resistance and toughness. Through a series of process steps such as high-temperature heating, heat preservation and rapid cooling, the surface structure of the gear is refined, the grains are fine-grained and homogenized, and a layer of high-hardness martensitic structure is formed on the surface, thereby improving the wear resistance and toughness of the gear, while increasing its strength and extending its service life.

Improve the hardness and wear resistance of the gear

After the gear tempering treatment, the surface hardness of the gear can reach more than HRC50, which greatly improves its wear resistance and fatigue resistance and extends its service life.

Improve the toughness and toughness of the gear

Gear tempering treatment can improve the toughness and toughness of the gear, making it less likely to break, deform and crack under high load and high-speed operation.

Improve gear transmission efficiency

The gear surface can be made smooth and flat through tempering treatment, reducing the friction resistance between the tooth surfaces, thereby improving the gear transmission efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

Advantages of gear tempering treatment

 

 

Improve the service life of gears

Gear tempering treatment can improve the hardness and wear resistance of gears, extend their service life, and thus reduce the maintenance cost and downtime of equipment.

 

Improve gear transmission efficiency

Tempering and tempering treatment can make the gear surface smooth and flat, reduce the friction resistance between the tooth surfaces, improve transmission efficiency, and reduce energy consumption.

 

Improve the toughness and toughness of gears

Tempering and tempering treatment can improve the toughness and toughness of gears, making them less likely to break, deform, and crack under high load and high-speed operation.
