YP-MFG will work with you to produce custom aluminum extrusions for a variety of projects. Our expert engineers can help you create standard profiles in different sizes and shapes, help you choose the right surface treatment, and more.
Steel gears are mostly alloy steels, with a few being carbon steels, including quenched and tempered steel, quenched steel, carburized quenched steel, and nitrided steel. Steel has good toughness and impact resistance, and can also be improved through heat treatment or chemical heat treatment to improve its mechanical properties and tooth surface hardness, so it is most suitable for manufacturing gears.
In order to meet the performance requirements of parts, medium carbon steel and low alloy steel can be subjected to various heat treatments to improve their strength and hardness.
Use hardened gears with higher strength and hardness, and extend the service life of gears by optimizing gear material selection and lubrication methods.
Brass gear:
The characteristics of brass are its good strength and durability, as well as the comfort of shaking transmission. In terms of application range, brass gears are suitable for some reels that are high-load and require wheel rigidity.
In terms of processing technology, the process of brass gears is mature and the processing difficulty is relatively small. The raw material price is also cheap and the hardness is relatively soft. Therefore, brass gears are mostly used in some reels that require high strength for fishing and high load or some entry-level reels.
Commonly used cast irons mainly include: gray cast iron, ductile cast iron, malleable cast iron and alloy cast iron. Compared with steel, cast iron has a lower alloy content and better processing performance. The free graphite and porous structure in cast iron make the gears have good wear resistance, low noise and low cost, and can be widely used in various types of gear transmissions.
Due to the good sliding properties of cast iron, cast iron turbines can be used to replace copper alloy turbines in many turbine transmissions with low loads and less harsh working conditions. In short, cast iron is an economical and applicable gear material. Gray cast iron is brittle and has poor impact and wear resistance, but has good resistance to bonding and pitting. It is often used in situations where the work is stable, the speed is low and the power is not high. Ductile iron can partially replace steel to manufacture gears
Aluminum is a good material for low pressure gears and while 7075 isn’t as hard as steel, it’s harder than 6061 so that’s what’s used. And while Al is more costly than steel, it’s much easier to machine. And because it can have a wear coating, it’s actually pretty good material for some applications
Many non-metallic materials are also increasingly used in the production of gear products, and some of their properties are close to or exceed those of metal materials. The introduction of metals, metal oxides, nanoparticles, reinforced fibers, etc. in the production of high polymer materials can greatly improve the anti-friction and wear performance under various lubrication conditions. In particular, some fields that require oil-free lubrication, high reliability, and low pollution, such as household appliances, medical equipment, food machinery, and textile machinery, are more suitable for gears made of polymer composite materials.
In addition, mass production of plastic or plastic metal gears can effectively reduce production costs and is more suitable for unfavorable environments with pollution and high dust. For high-speed, light-load, and low-precision gear transmissions, in order to reduce noise, non-metallic materials (such as cloth-reinforced bakelite, nylon, etc.) are often used to make small gears.
