Performance optimization of spur gears by machine hammered tooth surfaces (OptiGear2)

Subject Area Primary Shaping and Reshaping Technology, Additive Manufacturing
Term from 2017 to 2025
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 390969378
 
Final Report Year 2025

Final Report Abstract

The aim of this project was to optimize the application behavior of cylindrical gears through defined surface structures and edge zone properties as a result of mechanical surface peening to reduce friction and wear in rolling sliding contact and to increase the tooth flank and tooth root load carrying capacity. This increased the service life of cylindrical gears in terms of rolling strength and tooth root breakage. In the first three research years in particular, the cause-and-effect relationships between hammered cylinder surfaces and friction, wear and tooth flank load carrying capacity in Disk on Disk contact were modeled and explained. In the following two years, a design model was developed for increasing the tooth flank and tooth root load-carrying capacity through mechanical surface peening.
