Repair of Helicopter Gears
In order to reduce costs by extending the operational life of the sun and input pinion gears of a helicopter transmission, scraped gears were subject to a superfinishing process.
Technical Papers
Evaluation of the Scuffing Resistance of Isotropic Superfinished Precision Gears
The high performance required from aerospace gears places stringent requirements upon the metallurgical quality, geometry, and surface finish of mating parts.
Technical Papers
Horsepower Retention by ISF (Isotropic Superfinishing) of Automotive Racing Components
Automotive power and drivetrain components typically transfer the energy from fuel combustions through a series of metal-to-metal mechanical components.
Technical Papers
Effect of Superfinishing on Scuffing Resistance
A fundamental understanding of gear scuffing has been promoted for a number of years by the use of twin disc scuffing rigs.
Technical Papers
The Reduction of Parasitic Friction in Automotive Gearbox and Drive Train Components by the Isotropic Superfinish
Microscopic examination of the traditionally ground tooth surfaces of automotive transmission gears reveals a micro-roughness, and unidirectional pattern corresponding to the direction of the gear tooth grinding operation.
Technical Papers
Impact of Isotropic Superfinishing on Contact and Bending Fatigue of Carburized Steel
An Isotropic Superfinish (ISF) is produced by a patented chemically accelerated vibratory finishing process using non-abrasive media that is capable of surface finishing hundreds of parts per hour.
Technical Papers
Chemically Accelerated Vibratory Finishing for the Elimination of Wear and Pitting of Alloy Steel Gears
Chemically Accelerated Vibratory Finishing is capable of refining hundreds of gears per hour to a superfinished isotropic condition.
Technical Papers
Isotropic Finishing of Helicopter and Turboprop Gearbox Components
The traditional finishing techniques for engineered gearbox surfaces include but are not limited to hob shaving, gear grinding and honing.
