GAS OXINITRIDING OF GEAR COMPONENTS

With the help of controlled gas oxinitriding, cyclically loaded components in the field of gear-making can be treated with an adequate selection of materials up to modulus 6. The dimension change behaviour will only meet the requirements expected if the forming degree of the raw component, the pre-heated treatment conditions and the degree up to which working stresses are reduced are taken into account. The nitriding results arrived at during operation show a sound reproduceability and well agree with references in literature.
