Abstract

In order to prevent environmental pollution in the manufacturing process and to obtain high load-carrying capacity of the power transmission gears, the tooth surface-finishing methods using volcanic-ashes were investigated. First, case-carburized test rollers were finished by cylindrical grinding machine. Secondly, the ground surfaces were finished by using volcanic-ashes. Third, the influence of surface texture on surface durability of test rollers was examined using a 2-roller-type fatigue testing machine. For test rollers with finished surface, the following results are obtained under the heavy load conditions: The surface temperature occurred by friction is low. During running, the amount of wear and the number of pits decrease. From these considerations, it is found that the surface finished by use of volcanic-ashes containing various chemical compositions is smoother than ground surface. Furthermore, in the case of the alloy steel of the same quality and same process of case-carburizing, surface durability of case-carburized gears is improved by using volcanic-ashes.
