A comparative study of the performance of Tufftrided and Sursulf-treated low-carbon steel gears

S KRISHNAMURTHY, A RAMAMOHANA RAO

Abstract


Low-carbon steel gears subjected to different surface treatments Tufftrided and Sursulf were tested in a back-to-back gear test rig. The type of failure has been studied and the effect of contact stress on life has been investigated. The studies indicate that both the treatments lead to satisfactory performance of gears, Sursulf yielding slightly better results.
