This study has been performed to investigate on the spur gear with the spline key of heat treatment process analysis. The heat treatment process for gear has been widely used at the production of moving parts in order to improve its manufacture productivity. A driving spur gear is modeled with three dimensions for the heat treatment process. The variable conditions for the heat treatment analysis are the shape of gear tooth, the environmental heating temperature, heating time, cooling temperature and cooling. The analytical results of mechanical properties as micro structure and hardness are analyzed using the software. As the analysis result, the hardness value(HRC) becomes 20.2 of the inner part at gear body and of the surface part of gear tooth has shown the max. valve of HRC 47.5. The beinite structure forms up to 70%. This is because the cooling becomes slow at the center part than the end part. Therefore, it is estimated that the gear tooth have the high anti-wear property and the inner center part maintains the sufficient stiffness. These results can be utilized for the production of the driving gear by the heat treatment process as the fundamental information
In this paper, heat treatment on the cutting device for automatic welding electrode is proposed. The electrode can be fed continuously by general automatic welding. When the leading end of wire is bent, it must be cut with the constant length. The wire has been cut by manual method previously but the automatic cutter device is proposed and designed in this study. These new device parts are designed and the heat treatment of cutter is determined analytically. The numerical three-dimensional analysis is carried out by means of DEFORMTM-HT, the common heat-treatment software. The meshes are divided with tetrahedral elements. As the result, the highest hardness is observed at the end edge of cutter and especially the hardness at edge is reached even HRc 64.3. The layer, 90% of which consists of martensite structure, is extended to the end edge of cutter. And the layer, 50% of which consists of the micro-structure, becomes its middle area. Because the mechanical property can be predicted by this analytical approach, it is not necessary to have any onsite heat treatment. The life of cutter can be improved by using this study result.
