About Iron Alloy Gear
Feature
Good wear resistance
The addition of alloying elements enhances the wear resistance of the gear surface, it reduces the risk of wear and pitting for tooth surface and prolongs service life of the gears. It performs particularly well especially in environments of long-term operation or high-friction.
Excellent fatigue performance
The iron alloy gear has relatively high fatigue strength. It can resist fatigue damage under repeated stress. The stable operation under frequent start-stop, speed change and other working conditions could be ensured, it can reduce fault probability.
Adjustable heat treatment performance
The performance of iron alloy gear can be further optimized through different heat treatment processes (such as quenching and tempering, carburizing, nitriding, etc.). For example, carburizing treatment can make the surface of gear form a carburizing layer of high hardness, meanwhile maintaining the toughness of the heart. It takes into account wear resistance and impact resistance.
Dimensional stability
During the casting or forging process, the iron alloy gear has relatively good homogeneity of structure and the change of its size is small after heat treatment, so the accuracy of gears and the stability of transmission can be ensured. Iron alloy gear is suitable for transmission systems with high precision requirements.
Corrosion resistance (for some alloys)
Some iron alloy gears (such as stainless-steel gears) have certain corrosion resistance. They can be used in the environments of damp and corrosive medium and reduce gear damage caused by corrosion.
Cost-effectiveness
Compared with some high-performance materials (such as non-ferrous alloys), the cost of iron alloys is relatively low. Moreover, its production process is mature and has a high cost-performance ratio during mass production. Iron alloy gear is widely applied in various industrial fields.

Common types
Carbon steel gear
Carbon is the main alloying element, It is divided into low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel and high-carbon steel gears.
Low-carbon steel gear: Low cost and good processing performance, it is often used in light-load and low-speed applications
Medium carbon steel gear: The comprehensive performance is good after quenching and tempering treatment, it is suitable for transmission with medium loads and rotational speeds.
High carbon steel gear:It has high hardness and good wear resistance, but relatively poor toughness. It is used for light-load gears with extremely high wear resistance requirements.
Alloy steel gear
Adding alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, nickel and molybdenum, it has higher strength, hardness, toughness and heat resistance. It is often used in harsh working conditions such as heavy load, high speed and high temperature, for gears in fields like automotive transmissions, construction machinery and mining machinery.
stainless steel gear
Stainless steel gear contains elements such as chromium and nickel. It has excellent corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. Stainless steel gear is suitable for damp, corrosive environments or occasions with high hygiene requirements, such as food processing, chemical engineering, Marine engineering and other fields.
