Distortion Analysis of Low Pressure Carburized Components : A heat treatment distortion comparison of transmission gear components for truck and automobile.

During the last 10 years, low pressure carburizing and high pressure gas quenching has become more popular since it is a “new” process and researchers reports that the distortion characteristics gained from these processes is improved in relation to conventional processes. The aim of this work was to investigate the distortions gained from three different heat treatment processes on main shaft gears and crown wheels. Experiments with atmospheric carburization with oil quenching and low pressure carburization with nitrogen gas quenching or oil quenching were made and distortion characteristics gained from these processes were then measured and compared. It was found that components treaded in the relatively new LPC-HPGQ process are similar and often even better than the conventional method. The larger main shaft gear improves the most with newer method but instead gets a lower core hardness and systematic diametrical shrinkage. Some measurements on the crown wheel were also improved but others were affected negatively.
