This book is intended for gear metallurgists and materials specialists, manufacturing engineers, lubrication technologists, and analysts concerned with gear failures who seek a better understanding of gear performance and gear life. All of the critical technical aspects of gear materials technology are addressed. Coverage includes an overview of the various types of gears used, important gear terminology, applied stresses and strength requirements associated with gears, and lubrication and wear; in-depth treatment of metallic (ferrous and nonferrous alloys) and plastic gear materials; the properties of carburized steels, the material of choice for high-performance power transmission gearing; and the increasing use of plastics for both motion-carrying and power transmission applications is addressed.
