Rolling reinforcement can make the gear surface more smooth and flat, reduce surface roughness, enhance surface hardness, improve fatigue performance, improve dimensional accuracy, and strengthen material properties.
Nitriding treatment can enhance the surface hardness (HV≥800) and wear resistance of gears, increase fatigue strength by more than 30%, while improving corrosion resistance and maintaining dimensional stability (deformation ≤0.02mm), and the surface roughness can be reduced to Ra0.4μm or less.
Induction hardening can improve the surface hardness and wear resistance of the gear, and enhance the fatigue strength. This method has fast heating speed, short time, and less oxidation and decarbonization of the gear.
Electroplating can improve the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the gear, make its surface smooth and bright, and improve the conductive energy of the gear.
Chemical planting ance the wear resistance of gears, reduce the coefficient of friction, and increase the fatigue strength of products, etc. The surface treatment of this kind of gear is widely used in aerospace, automotive, mechanical and other fields.
Shot peening results in plastic deformation of the gear surface, which increases gear surface hardness, enhances fatigue strength and reduces gear surface roughness.
Carburizing makes the gear surface rich in carbon elements, which can improve the hard bottom and wear resistance of the gear surface, enhance fatigue strength, maintain the toughness of the heart, and have excellent comprehensive mechanical properties.

Frequent Asked Questions
Gear hobbing is the principle of generating a method to process gears. Using the hob to process the opposite wheel is equivalent to the meshing of the helical cylindrical gear pair.
Hobbing processing is carried out based on the meshing principle of helical gears. The hob is like a helical gear, meshing with the gear being processed at a certain transmission ratio. While the hob rotates, it feeds along the axis of the gear, gradually cutting out the tooth profile of the gear.
The gear shaping machine processes based on the meshing principle of a pair of cylindrical gears. It is equivalent to a gear, meshing with the gear without clearance while moving up and down. The cutting edge of the gear shaping tool cuts out a tooth groove of the gear in each reciprocating motion. After multiple insertions, a complete gear tooth profile is gradually formed.
The advantages of gear hobbing processing include: high precision, high production efficiency, wide application range and long tool life. It is easy to achieve automated production.
