For high performance gear and powertrain manufacturers,
Austempered materials offer greater wear resistance, reduced
noise, improved bending and contact fatigue, as well as
increased strength and durability.
Austempering
an iron, steel, or powdered metal component (depending
on the specific application) can therefore deliver a valuable
competitive edge. Companies such as Delphi Automotive,
Dana Corporation, Ford Motor Company, AGCO, John Deere,
and General Motors are among those selecting ADI and Austempered
steels for production and design.
Some typical applications in this industry include:
ADI
- Diesel Engine Timing Gears
- Hypoid Ring and Pinion Gears
- Off-Highway Drive Axles
- Ring Gears
- Gear Housings
- Sprockets
- CV Joints
- Differential Housings
- Wheel Hubs
