Performance and Machining of Advanced Engineering Steels in Power Transmission Applications

– Continued Developments
Authors: Lily Kamjou, Nicklas Bylund, Brent Marsh, Joakim Fagerlund, Thomas Björk
This paper discusses the potential gain for the power transmissions industry by making use of the material
properties of Advanced Engineering Steels to support more demanding applications. Machining the Advanced
Engineering Steels is discussed based on a number of recent studies. All studies indicate that by optimizing
machining parameters and tools, the productivity and efficiency of these processes can be maintained, or even
improved.

16FTM08. Gear Design Relevant Cleanness Metrics

Authors: Dr. E. Buddy Damm, Peter Glaws
This paper describes the methods used to characterize premium quality clean steels through the use of statistics
of extreme values (SEV), and the use of these data to perform gear design relevant engineering analysis of the
potential for a gear failure due to bending fatigue in the root or flank. Literature evaluation, modeling results, and
experimental results are presented in order to validate the approach.

16FTM09. Development of High Hardness-Cast Gears for High-Power Applications in the Mining Industry
Author: Fabrice Wavelet
Multiple solutions are available to increase the transmissible power of girth gears, including using a larger module,
increasing the gear diameter, enlarging the face width, and increasing the hardness of the base material. Base
material hardness, the only parameter that is not limited by cutting machine size, is being increased to meet
higher power needs. This paper will review the related design and manufacturing impact of the high-hardness
gears needed to meet today’s industry demands.

16FTM10. Computerized Design of Straight Bevel Gears with Optimized Profiles for Forging, Molding,
or 3D Printing
Authors: Alfonso Fuentes, Ignacio Gonzalez-Perez, and Harish Pasapula
Research will be presented on whether there is a reference profile that will yeild the same advantages for bevel
gears as the involute for cylindrical gears. The spherical involute and octoidal profiles will be studied, and the
virtual generation of bevel gears with the different profiles will be developed, and simulated, using advanced tools
such as tooth contact analysis and finite element analysis.

16FTM11. Contact Fatigue Characterization of Through-Hardened Steel for Low-Speed Applications

Like Hoisting
Authors: Dr. Michel Octrue, Antoine Nicolle, and Remy Genevier
Lubrication by grease is often employed on open gears that transmit power at low speeds. The rating methods
found in ISO 6336 has shown that ISO is very conservative for grease lubricated, through hardened steel gears
running with case hardened pinions, specifically when considering service life. Fatigue SN curves resulting from
tests will be compared and discussed with values given in ISO and AGMA gear rating standards.

16FTM12. Determination of Load Distributions on Double Helical-Geared Planetary Gear Boxes

Author: Dr. Tobias Schulze
The optimization and effective utilization of planetary gearbox designs require a detailed consideration of the
loads on the gears. This paper presents a computer aided calculation method that has been developed for
planetary gearboxes with spur and helical gears that considers the most important influences on the load
distribution. Using this information, a detailed load distribution is possible to reach the maximum capability of
the gears.

16FTM13. Designing Very Strong Gear Teeth by Means of High Pressure Angles
Author: Richard Miller
This paper will show a method of designing and specifying gear teeth with much higher bending and surface
contact strength than that of conventional gear teeth. The primary means of achieving this is by specifying gear
teeth with significantly higher pressure angles. This paper will show calculation procedures, mathematical
solutions, and the theoretical background and equations to achieve this.
