Given: Uncrowned, through-hardened 300 Brinell core and case, Grade 1, NC = 109 rev of
pinion at R = 0.999, N P = 20 teeth, NG = 60 teeth, Q v = 6, Pd = 6 teeth/in, shaft angle

d P = 20/6 = 3.333 in

Mesh

dG = 60/6 = 10.000 in
Eq. (15-7):

vt = (3.333)(900/12) = 785.3 ft/min

Eq. (15-6):

Eq. (15-5):
Eq. (15-8):

Since 785.3 < 3904, K v = 1.374 is valid. The size factor for bending is:
K s = 0.4867 + 0.2132/6 = 0.5222

AGMA 2003-B97 does not fully address cast iron gears, however, approximate comparisons can be useful. This problem is similar to Prob. 15-1, but not identical. We will organize the method. A follow-up could consist of completing Probs. 15-1 and 15-2 with
identical pinions, and cast iron gears.
Given: Uncrowned, straight teeth, Pd = 6 teeth/in, N P = 30 teeth, NG = 60 teeth, ASTM

30 cast iron, material Grade 1, shaft angle 90, F = 1.25, n P = 900 rev/min,

d P = 30/6 = 5.000 in
dG = 60/6 = 10.000 in

Set N L = 107 cycles for the pinion. For R = 0.99,

The velocity factor K v represents stress augmentation due to mislocation of tooth profiles
along the pitch surface and the resulting falling of teeth into engagement. Equation
(5-67)
shows that the induced bending moment in a cantilever (tooth) varies directly with E of the
tooth material. If only the material varies (cast iron vs. steel) in the same geometry, I is the
same. From the Lewis equation of Section 14-1,

The equations developed within Prob. 15-7 are effective. In bevel gears, the gear tooth
is weaker than the pinion so (C H ) G = 1. (See p. 784.) Thus the approximations in
Prob. 15-7 with C H = 1 are really still exact.

From Ex. 15-1, the core hardness of both the pinion and gear is 180 Brinell. So ( H B ) 11
and ( H B ) 21 are 180 Brinell and the bending stress numbers are:
(sat ) P = 44(180) + 2100 = 10 020 psi
(sat ) G = 10 020 psi

prerequisites, and how quantitative it was. The most important thing is to have the student think about it.
The instructor can comment in class when students curiosity is heightened. Options
that will surface may include:
Select a through-hardening steel which will meet or exceed core hardness in the hotrolled condition, then heat-treating to gain the additional 86 points of Brinell hardness
by bath-quenching, then tempering, then generating the teeth in the blank.
Flame or induction hardening are possibilities.
The hardness goal for the case is sufficiently modest that carburizing and case hardening may be too costly. In this case the material selection will be different.
The initial step in a nitriding process brings the core hardness to 3338 Rockwell
C-scale (about 300350 Brinell) which is too much.
Emphasize that development procedures are necessary in order to tune the Black Art
to the occasion. Manufacturing personnel know what to do and the direction of adjustments, but how much is obtained by asking the gear (or gear blank). Refer your students
to D. W. Dudley, Gear Handbook, library reference section, for descriptions of heat-treating processes.
