iMAST Quarterly, Number 1, 1999

Abstract

An extensive ausform finishing process developmental program has been under way at Penn State's Applied Research Laboratory for several years now as part of its mechanical drive transmission technology effort. The principal focus of this effort has been towards developing an ausform finishing process to strengthen machine components for wear and contact fatigue resistance. This particular process typically limits plastic deformation of the marquenched, metastable, austenite to within 0.4mm of the surface. ARL's Institute for Manufacturing and Sustainment Technologies (iMAST) is currently in the second phase of a three-phase program focusing on the enhancement of high-performance gears and bearings for use in rotorcraft, ground combat, and ground combat service support vehicles.
