Surface durability of gear teeth can be increased by increasing the hardness of the gears. However, when the hardness is increased beyond a certain limit (about 500 Vickers Hardness), the bending fatigue strength of teeth decreases with an increase in the hardness in the case of through hardened gears. It is generally believed that the reduction in the bending fatigue strength of teeth can be prevented by introducing case-hardening. In the present investigation, the test gears were casehardened by three different methods. As for the gear materials, plain carbon and alloy steels including high tension steel were used. The gears were hardened by carburizing, plasma nitriding and induction hardening. Specifications of test gears are module m=3, number of teeth Z=26 and face width b=10 mm. In contrary to general expectation, the impact bending fatigue lives of the induction hardened gears were longer than those of carburized or nitrided gears, in almost all cases. In some cases, plasma nitrided gears were stronger than carburized gears. The effective utilization of the induction hardened gears were discussed using measured bending fatigue lives and the hardness of the teeth of the hardened gears.
