Material Selection for PM Gears to be Used in Two Wheeler Transmission Application

Presently, two wheelers (scooters and motorcycles) use transmission gears produced from wrought material. The production process is expensive and involves significant wastage of material. A combination of finite element analysis and practical experiments have been carried out to produce PM gears (selective surface densification) which can be used for transmission application. Experimental details of this study will be discussed in this paper.
