Preparation of Surface Hardened Gears

Find out how repeatable preparation methods can provide reliable quality control results for surface hardened helical gears

Surface hardened helical gears must survive in harsh environments, so the heat treatment must produce the desired microstructure and material properties. Sample preparation and hardness testing can be used to verify heat treatment cycles.

In this webinar, attendees will learn about:

• Special challenges associated with helical gears, such as how to securely clamp complex sample geometry in a cutoff machine
• Mounting resin selection and preparation method for helical gears
• Automated hardness testing for case depth traverses and hardness mapping
