Abstract
This research discusses the development and validation of a sustainable process chain for the efficient manufacturing of prototype gears for automotive applications. To reach the objectives, a selective laser hardening set-up has been integrated into a multi-axis machining platform. This allows to machine and harden gears in a single production center. In this research, 3 automotive drivetrain gears, representing a set of geometrical features (gear flanks,…) and materials, were manufactured and validated. Using the integrated laser hardening set-up, uniform hardness profiles were achieved on the different features while all measured quality parameters were within required tolerances.
