Teaming Up to Solve Bevel Gear Grinding Application Challenges
Fine pitch grinding from solid can be particularly problematic, as the typically narrow wheel tip width required to grind these gears makes it very difficult to achieve good balance between tip wear and productivity. To achieve the most efficient fine pitch bevel grinding solution, Norton| Saint-Gobain Abrasives (Worcester, MA) and Gleason Works (Rochester, NY) teamed up to evaluate, test and implement the latest, best abrasives application

Vacuum heat treating + oil quench solves demanding requirements
Gear heat treatment demands high metallurgical quality and repeatability, attributes that are best performed in vacuum. In addition, oil quenching permits fast, uniform quenching of dense, tightly packed loads, which improves throughput. The CaseMaster Evolution® vacuum furnace from SECO/VACUUM combines the best of both worlds.

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.
