Applies thin titanium nitride (TiN) or chromium nitride (CrN) layers to improve wear resistance without changing tooth dimensions significantly. 5. Manufacturing Methods for Precision Gearing
Inconel and Titanium alloys are deployed in aerospace environments where weight and extreme thermal gradients are critical factors.
The rise of robotics and automation has shifted focus from traditional parallel-shaft gear trains to high-density, zero-backlash concentric designs. Strain Wave Gearing (Harmonic Drive)
Uses a threaded grinding wheel (worm-shaped). It is highly productive and ideal for medium to high-volume precision gears, such as automotive EV gears.
