A STUDY ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE PLANETARY DEAR QUALITY BY APPLYING THE NITROGEN PLASMA PERMEATION TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

In this paper, the nitrogen plasma permeation technology and volumetric heat
treatment method were applied for surface treatment of the planetary gear
transmission. By applying these techniques, a surface layer that has special
properties such as suitable hardness, high abrasion resistance was created on the
part surface. The obtained results on the micro organization change also showed
that nitrogen plasma permeationtechnology has many outstanding advantages to
improve the quality of gear transmission. The research results can be applied to
select chemical - physical - thermal processing technology solutions and to design
technological processes for manufacturing the planetary gear transmissions.
