Abstract It is very difficult to precisely finish agear tooth surface to the extent of a few sub-micron w
4、ith grinding. Even if possible, the grinding time of the tooth surface will be very long and a grinding bum may often occur. The authors have adopted a barreling process as a final finish process in order to improve the ground and/or shot peened surface. Though the barrelling process is economical f

The authors have found that the barrelling process is very effective for the improvement of gear tooth surface roughness without changes

In the present research, the surface durability of the high quality gear manufactured by a proposed new method was also investigated using a gear testing machine, which can measure the condition of oil film fo

As the results of durability test, it was confirmed that the configuration of tooth surface of the barrelled gear scarcely changed after running, but that of the shot peened gear remarkably changed. The condition of the oil film formation in a running
8、test conducted using barrelled gears was very good even during start-up. Also, the duration of oil film formation in the case of the barrelled gear was superior to the one in the case of the ground orshot peened ones, because of the difference of metallic contact condition.

Introduction : From basic experimental results 11-3 conducted using a two roller con
12、tact fatigue testing machine, it was expected that a high quality gear whose bending fatigue strength and surface durability are appreciably higher could be manufactured, if a compressive residual stress is induced on and below a tooth surface of a gear by the shot penning process after grinding and
13、 the surface is smoothed by the barrelling process. In the present study, the authors propose a new manufacturing method for improving the surface property of the gear tooth by employing shot peening and barrelling processes after grinding. Though gear homing, in which a gear is polished by a worm-s
14、haped grinding wheel made of urethane rubber 4, and gear rapping, in which a gear is polished using abrasive and a helical gear made of cast iron or plastic 56, are generally tried in order to improve the tooth surface of gear, their finishing processes are apt to be influenced by the contact pressu
15、re and the relative velocity between surfaces of a tool and a gear, and only the strongly contacted regions may be removed. On comparison with them, the shot peening and barrelling processes have a possibility that the whole of the tooth surface is uniformly finished. The surface configuration will
16、hardly change after processing. This method will be optimum for gear finishing with complicated tooth profile and tooth trace. Though the gear finished by the manufacturing method proposed in this study has a mirror-like tooth surface, the tooth surface roughness still has waviness component. Theref
17、ore, it was questioned whether its surface durability is higher than that of the only ground gear, or not. The surface durability of spur gears was then examined using a gear fatigue testing machine in practice. 2. Manufacturing Method of High Quality Gear: 2.1 Specifications of Gear Table 1 shows d

19、s of these gears are modified (amount of tooth tip relief; = 20 p m, crowning amount; % 20 pm). The amount of crowning of the spur gear is larger than that of the conventional gear. This aim was due to examine the adaptability of the shot peening and barrelling processes for manufacturing the gear w

A gear prepared by hobbing was carburized at 930 “c, kept at 850 “c for the brief time, and quenched by soaking i
21、n hot oil bath at 120 “c. After that, it was tempered at 160 “c. The hardness of the surface was about 750 HV and the depth of effective hardness about 1.2 mm.

23、 The tooth root was also ground together with the tooth surface in order to improve the bending fatigu strength. The method of grinding is shown in Table 2. 2.2 Shot Peening and Barrelling Processes The shot peening process parameters are shown in Table 3. The shot material is a spherical rounded st
24、eel wire. The shot peening process was applied to both sides of the gear tooth surface. The inlet angle of shot peening near a pitch point of a tooth is about 50”. A residual stress was detected at a crystallographic plane (211) by an X-ray diffraction method with Cr-Ka rays. Figure 2 shows the dist
