Analytical Study for Enhancing Gear Performance Using Al2O3 Paint Coating

Abstract

Nowadays one-time investment is considered better than frequent expenditures of a particular product. To deliver such kind of technology or product is the prime objective of most of the companies. Same goes for the automobile industry. Narrowing the scope for the steering and transmission performance and their fatigue life (mostly rack and pinion which are used in the four-wheeler). In this paper a conventional gear material is taken and has been given a thin paint coating and FEA (Finite Element Analysis) is performed and the stress acting on gear was reduced by 14%. The main objective of this paper is to analyze the total stress acting on the system of a pair of gears having wide application.
