Living Large in Manufacturing
Large gears and gearboxes are some of the most fascinating components in the manufacturing world. The following compilation of blogs and articles looks at an upcoming trade show for mining components, an interesting gearbox restoration story and some quick tips on gearbox maintenance no matter the size. If you have a big gear or gearbox story to share, please contact the editorial team at Gear Technology & Power Transmission Engineering.
Low Pressure Carburizing of Gears
Solar Atmospheres provides low pressure carburizing (LPC) that significantly increases the surface hardness/strength of steel parts for improved friction and wear. Performing LPC in a vacuum furnace eliminates oxygen and prevents IGO (intergranular oxidation) that is inherent in atmospheric carburizing, resulting in clean parts with less distortion reducing post process finishing operations, and costs.
