Ashoka as one of a leading Bull Gear Manufacturers In India, In order for gears to achieve their intended performance, life and reliability, the selection of a suitable material is very important. Often not all design requirements are compatible. High load capacity requires a tough, hard material which is difficult to machine; whereas high precision favors materials that are easy to machine and, therefore, have lower strength and hardness ratings. Light weight and small size favors light non-ferrous materials, while high capacity requires the opposite. Thus, tradeoffs and compromise are required to achieve an optimum design. Materials vary widely, ranging from ferrous metals, through many non-ferrous and light-weight metals, to various plastics. The designer and user faces a myriad of choices. The final selection should be based upon an understanding of material properties and application requirement
