Dimensional Changes by Heat Treatment of Helical Gear

Article Preview

Abstract:

The dimensional change of tooth profile by heat treatment of helical gear was investigated by experimental and numerical approaches. Especially, the three-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element (FE) simulation was adopted to analyze the elastic deformation during load, unloading, ejecting of workpiece. Quenching simulation was also carried out to investigate the change of tooth profile on the forged gear. In experiments, the amount of elastic deformation of the forged gear was quantitatively determined by comparing the tooth profiles on the forged gear and die. The dimensional change of the forged gear tooth after quenching was also evaluated from the comparision of the cold forged and quenched gear teeth. From experimental works, it was found that the amounts of dimensional changes after forging and quenching of helical gear are 10 and 10 μm, respectively.
