Anomalies of Heat Treatment to Carburized Steels

Abstract

Three steels which are commonly used in tank-automotive gears were carburized to produce three different case microstructures. Tests simulating actual wear and fatigue on gear teeth under high contact loads were made using carburized rollers. A comparison of all test data was compiled and evaluated.
