1:30pm                                    Industrial Gearing Applications Take Advantage of New Powder Metallurgy Processes and Materials

                                                Authors: Fran Hanejko and Tim Hale, Hoeganaes Corporation

                                                Powder Metallurgy (P/M) is an efficient manufacturing process for the production of gearing and similar net shape components. Industrial gearing applications have material requirements combining static strength, bending fatigue, and rolling contact fatigue durability. The recent introduction of new compaction techniques and new alloy materials has produced P/M components with significantly higher yield and tensile strengths approaching the strength levels of wrought gearing materials. Advances in P/M alloys and processing can produce as-sintered densities greater than 7.4 g/cm" in complex gearing geometry. This high sintered density results in high static and fatigue resistance. The P/M processing is capable of producing dimensionally accurate components that have successfully replaced many high strength components. The paper will review gearing application conversions from competing metal forming technologies, new P/M processes and materials and their suitability for gear type applications. Mechanical property comparisons will be made to common gearing materials.
