Published:2000
Abstract
The successful design and manufacture of gears are influenced largely by design requirements, material selection, and proper heat treatment. This chapter addresses the cost factors and tradeoffs involved in selecting a material, design features, and a heat treating process to optimize gear performance for a particular application.
