Bevel gears are widely used in printing equipment, automobile differentials and water gates. They are also used for locomotives, ships, power plants, steel plants, railway track inspections, etc. Compared with metal gears, bevel gears are economical, have a long service life and are powerful. So do you know its characteristics and quenching principle? Let's take a look at it with the editor of the supplier of precision planetary bevel gears below!

1. Features

1). Strong chemical resistance.

2). Noise reduction and shock absorption.

3). Long life and high carrying capacity.

4). Light weight and low cost.

5). Easy to shape, good lubricity.

2. Quenching principle

The bevel gear has a large load, high centering accuracy and high technical requirements. It is inevitable to bear huge friction during work. A better method is to quench and heat the bevel gear to improve its hardness, wear resistance and service life.

The purpose of quenching is to transform the undercooled austenite into martensite or bainite to obtain a martensite or bainite structure, and then temper it with different temperatures to greatly increase the strength, hardness, and wear resistance of the steel. Performance, fatigue strength and toughness, etc., so as to meet the different use requirements of various mechanical parts and tools. It can also be quenched to meet the ferromagnetic, corrosion resistance and other special physical and chemical properties of certain special steels.
