Material: Alloy Steel (e.g.18CrNiMo7-6)
Applications:
This first-stage planetary gear forging can be used for low-speed stage of wind turbine gearboxes and main drive of heavy
mining equipment.
Key Process Step Descriptions:
- Quenching and Tempering Heat Treatment: Through quenching followed by high-temperature tempering, the component achieves a favorable combination of high strength and toughness, which is crucial for withstanding heavy loads and impact loads.
- Preliminary Nondestructive Testing (NDT): Conducts initial nondestructive testing on the prepared surfaces before rough turning, enabling early monitoring of internal quality.
- Comprehensive Inspection: Performs final inspection after rough turning, utilizing ultrasonic testing to ensure the absence of internal defects, verifying heat treatment effectiveness through hardness testing, and checking material composition via spectroscopic analysis, providing triple assurance for product quality.
This process is specifically designed for heavy-duty applications such as the low-speed stage of wind turbine gearboxes and
mining machinery, ensuring reliable performance for every product.
