Model study of the a pplication of the BATR process for hardening the contact surfaces of gear wheels

Abstract

An approach to modeling a gear pair is described and the results of studies of the distribution of contact stresses along the line of teeth engagement are presented. The analysis of the differences in the operation of gearing during traditional surface treatment and after nitriding using the BATR process is presented. A significant decrease in contact stresses during the interaction of gears hardened in this way is shown.
