Benefit: Cost Saving, Improved Performance
Main Forming Process: Conventional Processing
End Use Sector: Automotive
Description
At the start of customer project the gear has been produced as n° 1 gear and n° 2 bushing, both machined (wrought steel) and then assembled. The gear produced as PM technology showed a huge cost reduction. A strong design effort has been made to get the tight tolerance as specification with a long process steps with different dimensional variation (compaction, sintering, heat treatment, coating).
