The project and technology of Halnn superhard cbn inserts turning Gear


With the rapid development of the auto industry, it also lead the rapid rise of the auto downstream industry, such as auto parts and other industries. And with the mass production of cars, a lot of manufacturers which processing auto parts belong to mass production, such as automotive gear, gear shaft and other components. This article describes the selection about process technology and materials of auto parts, and how to process auto gear.

Part 1 The material and performance of the auto gears

Currently, there are 18-30 pieces gears per auto usually, the gear is the main basal transmission parts in the car industry, its quality directly affects the noise, stability and service life of the car. And choose different gear material, the gear will play a different role, such as automotive transmission gears, drive axle pinion gear, driver different gear and others often used 20CrMoTi,20CrMo as materials; automotive crankshaft gear often used 40,45 or 40Cr as Material. In order to make the car gear have a higher hardness, strength and flexural fatigue strength and contact fatigue strength (resistance to fatigue pitting)when running, usually use heat treatment process to improve the hardness, wear resistance and fatigue strength of the gear .

Part 2 The heat treatment process for Automobile Gears

The Heat Treatment for Automotive gear usually include: normalizing, quenching, carburizing and other processes, normalizing happened before process the parts for removing the internal stress and increase the hardness of the material; quenching and carburizing generally happened after rough processing the gear, in order to obtain a high surface hardness, high wear resistance and fatigue strength, and the unit has a strong heart and toughness to keep low-carbon steel after quenching, the work piece can withstand shock loads, for extending the life of the parts. You need choose the different heat treatment process according to the different materials. The important gear (such as transmission wheel 20CrMoTi material) required carburizing after heat treatment, for improving the wear resistance and fatigue resistance. In order to ensure the core part has enough strength and toughness, the material harden ability need a high requirements, the core parts hardness should be 35 ~ 45HRC, hardness of surface was 58-64HRC.

Part 3 The machinery processing technology and Inserts selection for auto gear

We had introduced the auto gearbox wheel(20CrMoTi materials) heat treatment process above , Now here is the brief processing line: Turning-Forged-normalizing-roughing-carburizing- quenching and tempering-finishing process-shot-grinding-Assembly. The hardness of 20CrMnTi material gear after heat treatment is HRC 58-64.While the hardness of other material’s gear was generally HRC45 or more after heat treatment, and there will inevitably be some distortion problems during the heat treatment ,will make trouble for finishing, so it is so important to choose the right inserts material when finishing process, as the car gear requires high accuracy, high quality, and the need to ensure the efficiency when mass production machining. There are three types materials for inserts on the market currently, which are coated carbide tools, ceramic cutting tools and cubic boron nitride(CBN) cutting tools, although the hardness and strength of coated carbide insert is better than uncoated carbide insert, the performance was the same as the surface wear-resistant layer is thin. So we did not suggest you choose the coated carbide tools when large volume processing. Of course the Ceramic inserts was brittle, and only was suitable for finish process the material which hardness was between HRC45 to 55. 

However Cubic boron nitride(CBN) cutting tools, has a higher hardness, higher strength and better wear resistance than the other two kind cutting tools we mentioned. Especially the non-metallic adhesive cbn insert researched by Halnn superhard. The development of non-metallic adhesive cbn inserts which was researched by Halnn superhard, which is a CBN insert company solving the problem of finishing processes.

The CBN inserts from Halnn Superhard can be used for turning the hard material all around and efficient. Halnn superhard cbn insert company was the first one to put forward to the conception of solid cbn inserts.
Now we will introduce how to choose the Halnn cbn inserts to process the gear.

Part 4 Halnn super-hard CBN inserts finishing process the gear

The working allowance is generally less than 0.3mm when finish turning gear, Halnn super-hard cbn inserts research BN-H10 and BN-H20 Non-metallic adhesive cbn inserts for finish turning gear. The two grade inserts both belong to the welded cbn inserts.

Following we will introduce how to choose the right grade inserts according to the different condition.
(1)Continuous turning conditions: Select BN-H10 cbn inserts,BN-H10 welded cbn insert has a high hardness, wear resistance and good resistance to chipping damage,suit for high-speed and continuous finishing cutting conditions,cuttingparameters:ap1mm,Fr=0.05-0.35mm/r, Vc= 60~250m /min.                                                                       
Application Case: Turning the gear which hardness was between HRC58 to 63.
Cbn inserts grades: BN-H10;
Cutting parameters: ap=0.2mm,Fr=0.1mm/r,Vc=180m/min.
Processing steps: Dry cutting.
Processing effect: life is 4 times longer and only cost 40% than ceramic tools.
                                                                                        
(2)Interrupted turning conditions: Interrupted turning was named that there is groove in the gear end’s hole.This operating mode should select Halnn superhard cbn inserts BN-H20 grade, this grade not only has a higher hardness, excellent wear resistance and impact resistance ,but also has a multi-blade numbers, reduce the tool costs.

                                                      Application Case: Turning the end surface of the gear which hardness is between HRC58 to 63
Cbn inserts grade :BN-H20 grade;
Cutting parameters: ap=0.25mm,Fr=0.1mm/r,Vc=120m/min.
Processing methods: Dry cutting.
Processing effect: Compared with European brand PCBN inserts, Halnn BN-H20 tool has a longer life, and only cost 1/2 price than European brand PCBN inserts .
                                                    
So Halnn superhard tools will be your best selection for turning the Gear.

Machining performance of CBN inserts for hard turning bearing


The two main application areas for CBN inserts include

1.Turning hardened steel
2.Turning gray cast iron

Now we will introduce the application of cbn insert on hard turning hardened steel part---bearing steel .

Normally CBN only works when the steel component is hardened(which means through heat treatment), with a hardness above HRC50. In its original state, thse material is usually around 250 HB, but the hardness is increased significantly through deformation hardening when used, without any loss of toughness.The hardness is also very difficult to measure with high accuracy due to the high level of work hardening.

The deformation hardening will affect the material also during machining, and this impacts the selection of cutting tools materials which can be used for machining.

Cutting data when using carbide insert has to be very low. Normally, the cutting speeds can be range 20 to 30 m/min. But if with CBN insert, cutting speeds can be increase to 200m/min, which significantly improve the processing efficiency.

One typical application Case as follows: Halnn CBN inserts has a long experience and has been very successful on hard turning hardened steel Bearing steel.
