Abstract
The influence of case depth on the pitting and bending strength of case carburized gears was investigated. For this purpose an extensive test program on gears of different sizes, different gear geometry and with systematically varied case depth has been carried out. Residual stresses and further characteristics of the case hardened layer - that are influenced by the value of case depth as well - are examined. Based on the test results, rating formulas are derived to calculate the optimum case depth for maximum load capacity. Influence factors are defined, by which the influence of case depth on the load capacity regarding pitting and bending strength can be taken into consideration if rating a gear according to the standardized calculation method of DIN 3990/ISO 6336.
