Innovative Powder Based Manufacturing Of High Performance Gears
Paper in proceedings, 2016

There are strong driving forces towards high-performance gear wheels which can handle higher engine outputs, or allow more compact designs of transmissions. Today the performance and life of conventionally manufactured gear wheels are limited by factors such as inhomogeneous microstructure and distribution of inclusions. Powder metallurgy (PM) can solve some of these problems but has so far had limitations caused by porosity. In this paper a cost effective way to eliminate porosity by HIP-ing without canister has been evaluated with encouraging results. Parameters such as powder particle size, lubricant and double pressing have been evaluated in the PM route in order to get a gas tight surface enabling effective post HIP-ing. So far double pressing has given promising results. Challenges such as open porosity, surface porosity and inclusions are addressed in the paper.
