Materials Matter: Nitriding’s “White Layer” and Isotropic Superfinishing
Developed in the early 20th century, nitriding has evolved into a standard process across many industrial applications. Often considered the simplest technique for case hardening, the process is commonplace in aircraft manufacturing, bearings, automotive components, turbine generation systems, and various industrial machineries.

Repairing Wind Turbine Gears and Assemblies with Isotropic Superfinishing
As the wind turbine industry matures, the importance of operations and management (O&M) costs grows. In the early years of large kilowatt and small megawatt class wind turbines, pre-mature gearbox failure due to gear fatigue was very common and was a significant issue for wind turbine gearbox manufacturers, wind turbine OEM’s and owner-operators.

Materials Matter: Additive Manufacturing: Challenges, Possibilities, and the Gear Industry
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a technology that has the potential to fundamentally alter manufacturing, specifically metal manufacturing. The ability to design complex shapes, which could not otherwise be manufactured, coupled with a significant reduction in scrap metal, has obvious benefits.

ISF Surface Versus Machined Surface
Why ISF® Surfaces are superior to machined surfaced: As the load of the mating surface is increased, the lubrication film becomes thinner, and the asperities of the machine surface contact each other resulting in plastic deformation, metal debris and scuffing, not so with REM Surface Engineering’s ISF® Surface.

Gear Corrosion During the Manufacturing Process
No matter how well gears are designed and manufactured, gear corrosion can occur that may easily result in catastrophic failure. Since corrosion is sporadic and a rare event and often difficult to observe in the root fillet region or in finely pitched gears with normal visual inspection, it may easily go undetected.
