Application note: Surface residual stress mapping of case carburized and shot peened gears
Verification of shot peening of gears is important and performed to check that the process is stable.
Verification of shot peening of gears is important and performed to check that the process is stable.
In this application grinding burn was detected on gear flanks with automated GearScan 500 Barkhausen noise system.
In this application, gear teeth were checked for grinding re-temper burn after a gearbox manufacturer uncovered a failed tooth.
In this application, gear teeth were checked for grinding burn as a result of unbalanced cycle time changes.
MBN is quantitative, repeatable, non-destructive, and it is easily automated, thus removing operator influence as a variable.
Combined with dimensional inspection, hardness tests and periodic metallographic analysis, the Barkhausen noise analysis method can help close the loop on insuring product quality.
