Reducer is a common machine in our industrial production. Before use, we will have a thorough understanding of the equipment to avoid damage. As you may know, there is a very important process in the manufacturing of this equipment: heat treatment. So what are the heat treatment methods for this device? Today, the editor will take you to learn about it.
1. Nitriding: The use of nitriding can ensure that the gears of the reducer can achieve high tooth surface hardness and wear resistance under conditions of minimal deformation. After heat treatment, it is possible to improve its load-bearing capacity without further precision machining, which is very important for gears that are not easily ground.
2. The hardness combination of meshing gears: When both the small and large gears of the reducer have soft tooth surfaces, the hardness of the tooth surface of the small gear will be greater than that of the large gear. When both the large and small gears have hard tooth surfaces and the hardness is relatively high, the hardness of both gears is the same.
3. Surface quenching: There are two common surface quenching methods for reducers: high-frequency quenching and flame quenching. High frequency quenching is generally suitable for some small-sized gears, while flame quenching is suitable for large-sized gears. The quenching part of surface quenching includes the bottom of the tooth root, which will have a better effect. The commonly used material for surface quenching is steel with a carbon content of 0.35~0.5, which increases the hardness of the tooth surface.
4. Carburizing and quenching: carburizing and quenching gears have a relatively large load-bearing capacity, but it is necessary to use gear grinding to solve the deformation caused by heat treatment and ensure its accuracy.
The above is all about the heat treatment methods for reducers. It should be noted that different treatment methods are applicable to different models of reducer equipment. This requires us to choose the most suitable treatment method based on the equipment used and environmental factors, in order to extend the service life of the machine.
