Objective:
The project concerns the development of high-pressure gas quenching technology for gears for the aerospace industry.
Research is carried out justifying the use and selection of gas quenching parameters and determining their impact on the properties of the surface layer and the core of gears made of the Pyrowear53 steel. A control and measurement system designed for non-destructive detection of microcracks on gears after gas quenching will also be developed.
The results of the research will form the basis for replacing the currently used process of quenching gears in oil by the process of high-pressure gas quenching at Pratt & Whitney Rzeszów SA.
