PROJECT 1: Gear 1

Name: Lương Hồng Phúc

Student ID: 20237041


Part 1: INTRODUCTION
Definition: Gears are one of the most fundamental mechanical devices in the

world. Gears are particularly useful for the transferral and translation of

rotary motion, and are able to manipulate speed, torque, and rotational

axis within a given machine.

Classification:

-there are many kinds of gear: spur gear, helical gear, internal gear,

bevel gear, miter gear, screw gear, worm gear,….


My product is called keyway spur gear

Characteristics:

 Easy to manufacture

 There are no axial force

 Relatively easy to produce high-quality gears

 The most common type of gear

 There is a slot cut into its bore that aligns with a corresponding slot

on the shaft

Application: gear pump


Dimensions:

Face width 50mm


Inner diameter 55mm
Outer diameter 140mm
Number of teeth 30
Clearance 10mm
Width of space 3.7mm
Width of keyway slot 10mm
Length of keyway slot 20mm
Part 2: MATERIALS
In material, there are METAL, PLASTICS, CERAMICS, COMPOSITES.

For the gear pump, the gear is sustained high pressure and torque. To adapt

these requirements, I need a high strength material, so I choose HIGH

CARBON STEEL.

PART 3: manufacturing

This picture show the overview of manufacturing a gear.

These are 7 steps to

manufacturing :
Step 1: Material Preparation

 Material Selection: AISI 52100 high-carbon steel is selected for its

excellent wear resistance and high tensile strength.

 Procurement: Steel billets or bars are sourced in bulk to optimize cost.


 Cutting: The steel is cut into cylindrical blanks with dimensions

slightly larger than the final gear (outer diameter: ~145mm, inner

diameter: ~60mm, face width: ~52mm) to account for machining

allowances.

Step 2: Forging

 Purpose: To improve the mechanical properties by refining the

material’s grain structure, increasing strength and toughness.

 Process:

1. The blank is heated in a furnace to approximately 1200°C,

beyond the recrystallization temperature of steel.

2. Using a closed-die forging press, the blank is shaped into a

near-net form of the gear, focusing on the outer diameter and

hub.

3. After forging, the part is cooled gradually to relieve internal

stresses.

 Inspection: Ultrasonic testing ensures the forged blank is free from

internal defects.

Step 3: Machining

 Purpose: To achieve precise dimensions for the blank, ensuring it is

ready for gear cutting.


 Processes:

1. Turning:

 A CNC lathe is used to turn the outer diameter to

140mm and the inner bore to 55mm with tight

tolerances.

2. Boring:

 The inner bore is refined, and the hub dimensions are

finalized.

3. Keyway Slot Machining:

 A broaching machine cuts the keyway slot (10mm wide,

20mm long) in the bore to align with the shaft.

 Inspection: A micrometer and gauges verify the dimensions.

Step 4: Gear Tooth Creation

 Method: Hobbing.

 Process:

1. A hob cutter is set up on a hobbing machine. The blank is

mounted, and the number of teeth (30) is programmed into

the machine.

2. The cutter rotates in synchronization with the blank, removing

material incrementally to form precise teeth profiles.


3. The space width between teeth (3.7mm) and the involute profile

are maintained throughout.

 Cooling: Cutting fluids are used during the process to prevent

overheating and ensure smooth cutting.

 Inspection:A profile projector or a gear measurement machine checks

the tooth geometry for uniformity and accuracy.

Step 5: Finishing Operations

 Purpose: To improve the gear's precision, reduce friction, and enhance

durability.

 Processes:

1.Grinding:

The gear teeth are ground using a CNC gear grinding machine

to achieve a smooth surface finish and precise tooth geometry.

2.Polishing:

The gear is polished to further reduce friction and ensure better

meshing with mating gears.

3. Deburring:

Any burrs or sharp edges left from previous processes are

removed manually or using a deburring machine.

Step 6: Quality Control


 Purpose: Ensuring that the manufactured gear meets the design

specifications and application requirements.

 Tests:

1.Dimensional Accuracy: Checked using a Coordinate Measuring

Machine (CMM) to ensure compliance with design tolerances.

2.Tooth Profile: Inspected using a gear tester to validate the

involute profile and spacing.

3.Surface Finish: Measured using a profilometer to verify a

smooth finish.

4.Hardness Testing: Verifies that the gear has achieved the

desired surface hardness and core toughness.

Step 7: Assembly Preparation

 Cleaning: The gear is cleaned using ultrasonic or chemical cleaning

methods to remove residues.

 Coating: An anti-corrosion coating is applied to protect the gear

during storage and transportation.

 Final Inspection: Visual and functional checks ensure the gear is ready

for assembly.

PART 4: Heat treatment


 PURPOSE:

- Increased Surface Hardness: Protects against wear and surface

fatigue.

- harden Core: Provides strength and flexibility to absorb shocks.


- Enhanced Fatigue Resistance: Prolongs gear lifespan under cyclic

loads.

 PROCESS:

I, Carburizing
1. The gear is placed in a carbon-rich atmosphere (e.g., methane

gas) at high temperatures (900–950°C).

2. Carbon atoms diffuse into the surface, forming a hardened layer

(case depth typically 0.5–2mm).

=>increase surface hardness

II, Quenching
1. The carburized gear is heated to austenitizing temperature

(~850–900°C).

2. The gear is cooled quickly in a medium such as oil, water, or

polymer.

=> hardening the surface

III, Tempering
1. The quenched gear is reheated to a moderate temperature

(~150–300°C).

2. Held at this temperature for a specified duration (1–2 hours),

then cooled.

=> reduce brittleness from quenching and improve toughness

PART 5: Conclusion
With the presentation above, we can imagine the complication of

manufacturing a gear. But after calculating, manufacturing we will get an

excellent gear that we need in machine.

I have some comments of advantages and disadvantages :

-Advantage:

+, High strength and quality gear.

+, high precision.
+, long toughness.

+, product can work in hard conditions.

-Disadvantage:

+, high cost to manufacture

+, require morden machines

+, hard to manufacture
