Gears
Specialized process control for gear manufacturing heat treatment.
Working with gear manufacturers over three decades, Nitrex has developed process- and application-specific know-how to help companies achieve process optimization in manufacturing, as well as ensure that heat-treated components meet or exceed performance and design expectations.
Gears are subjected not only to wear but also to cyclical dynamic loads, calling for sufficient bending and contact fatigue resistance. Nitrex solutions enhance the physical properties of the gear surface to improve performance without altering the properties of the core, resulting in longer-lasting gears.
