The transmission gears will be of high-carbon steel and the differential of low-carbon steel, carburized.
2
There are two distinct types of gears, both types having their champions, namely, carburized and heat-treated.
3
In fact, this is a good scheme to use for the majority of carburizing work of small and moderate size.
4
Formerly, the work was carburized at about 1,700°F.
5
Charcoal by itself carburizes slowly, consequently commercial compounds also contain certain "energizers" which give rapid penetration at lower temperatures.
6
These are essentially highly carburized (0.3-0.4 per cent.
7
The heat treatment of pinions produced from this material consists in carburizing at a temperature of from 1,600 to 1,650°F.
8
The heat treatment of ring gears and pinions is as follows: Carburize at a temperature of from 1,650 to 1,700°F.
