Using simulation to evaluate part green shape to reduce distortion during plug quenching
Determining the heat-treatment geometry (green shape) for complex gears is not a trivial task. Mass distribution becomes critical in determining […]
Pre-Nitriding: A Means of Significantly Increasing Carburizing Throughput
Carburizing is a surface-hardening method that uses heated metal in a carbon-rich environment to increase carbon levels on the metal, […]
Rapid Stress Relief and Tempering
Stress relief and tempering are important processes, but they are still conducted much as they have been for the past […]
Laser Heat Treating Advances for the Gear Industry
Laser technology has been used for many years with much success in industries such as power generation, hydraulics, hand tools, […]
Reducing Distortion in Heat-Treated Gears
