The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between selected gear features and distortions due to heat treatment. An extensive review of the literature indicated that studies on gear distortions were mainly metallurgically oriented, and the relationships between gear geometrical features and dimensional distortions due to heat treatment had not been investigated.

This investigation obtained data from actual gear size adjustments that had been collected from many years of experimentations at the John Deere Component Works (JDCW), Waterloo, Iowa. Gear data were converted to uniform files and were classified, retrieved, and analyzed by computerized systems. Two groups of …
