Custom Surface Treatment
AFI Industrial Co., Ltd. provides its customers with customized gear machining surface treatment services to improve the performance and service life of gears. The specific surface treatment method should be selected according to the use requirements of the gear, working environment, and materials. Whether you need anodizing, electroplating, or surface treatment for other projects, our expertise adds value to your parts to meet the quality requirements of your products.
Carburizing makes the gear surface rich in carbon elements, which can improve the hard bottom and wear resistance of the gear surface, enhance the fatigue strength, maintain the toughness of the heart, and have excellent comprehensive mechanical properties.
After nitriding treatment, the gear surface hardness and wear resistance can be improved, the gear fatigue strength can be increased, the gear corrosion resistance can be improved and the dimensional stability can be maintained, and the gear surface can be more smooth.
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 gear.
Chemical coatings usually have high hardness and good wear resistance, which can improve the corrosion resistance of gears and reduce the coefficient of friction between gears.
Shot peening results in plastic deformation of gear surface, which increases gear surface hardness, enhances fatigue strength and reduces gear surface roughness.
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.
Stainless steel is known for its corrosion resistance, making it the first choice for medical equipment and food processing equipment.

Frequent Asked Questions
Gear hobbing is the principle of generating method to process gears. Using the hob to process the opposite wheel is equivalent to the meshing of the helical cylindrical gear pair.
Gear hobbing
The gear hobbing is processed by the meshing principle of helical gear. The hob is like a helical gear, which engages with the gear to be machined under a certain transmission ratio.
The hob feeds along the axis of the gear while rotating, and gradually cuts out the tooth shape of the gear.
Gear shaping
The gear shaper is machined by the meshing principle of a pair of cylindrical gears. The gear shaper is equivalent to a gear, which engages with the gear without clearance while moving up and down.
The cutting edge of the gear shaper cutter cuts a tooth slot of the gear in each reciprocating motion, and gradually forms a complete tooth shape of the gear through multiple cuts.

Gear hobbing machine is a machine tool used to process gears, it through the relative rotation of the hob and the workpiece and the axial feed movement of the hob to process gears, different types of gear hobbing machine may have some differences, the specific working principle and operation method may be different. When using the gear hobbing machine for processing, it should be strictly operated in accordance with the operating procedures of the machine tool to ensure the safety and quality of processing.
Gear forming and hobbing machining are two different gear processing methods, they mainly have the following differences: gear forming is the use of the same shape of the gear groove cutter (such as gear milling cutter, gear broach, etc.), through the relative motion of the tool and the workpiece, the shape of the gear groove is gradually copied to the workpiece, so as to process the gear.
This machining method is similar to stamping parts with a die, and the tool directly shapes the tooth shape of the gear. The gear hobbing is processed by the meshing principle of helical gear. The hob is like a helical gear, which engages with the gear to be machined under a certain transmission ratio.
The hob feeds along the axis of the gear while rotating, and gradually cuts out the tooth shape of the gear.
