Here's a selection of recent articles and features on gear cutting tools:- Tinkering with Carbide - Everybody's working with carbide tools these days, but carbide materials are expensive. However, these cutting tool companies think they might have some solutions to extend tool life and reduce costs.
- Super Skiving Cutter - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) conducted a comparison test between the super skiving cutter and the pinion skiving cutter used in the conventional skiving process and the test results are reported here.
- Cutting Tool Dynamics - Meeting Today’s Requirements for High-Quality Gears
- Selecting Correct Size of Hob/Gashing Cutter - How does one select the correct size of hob/gashing cutter like hob OD, length and number of flutes for teeth cutting process based on tip circle diameter and face width of job?
Webinar: Quenching in 4 Dimensions!
In this webinar presented from SECO/VACUUM, we will show how quenching in 4 dimensions, where multiple high-pressure gas jets are applied to a rotating part in a single-piece flow process, can produce up to 1 million perfectly uniform gears per year. Learn how to control distortion and reduce waste in your heat treat process.
Gear Carburizing in Vacuum
Solar Atmospheres provides low pressure vacuum carburizing (LPVC) that significantly increases the surface hardness/strength of steel parts for improved friction and wear. Performing LPVC 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.
