The invention relates to a processing method for a gear, especially to a processing technology for a gearbox gear. The processing technology comprises the following steps: step 1, blanking and forging so as to obtain a cylindrical blank; step 2, homogenization treatment of components of the forged blank and drilling of a center hole through lathing; step 3, gear hobbing out of the cylindrical blank via a hobbing machine; step 4, carbonization of a workpiece; step 5, cooling and quenching after carbonization; and step 6, machining of the workpiece so as to form the gear. The processing technology provided by the invention has the following beneficial effects: a, carburizing temperature and quenching temperature are reduced, carburizing time is not prolonged, and energy consumption is reduced; b, generation of a black structure is prevented, a uniform carburizing layer is obtained, the microstructure of the carburizing layer having undergone carbonization and quenching is improved, an optimal metallographic structure is obtained, and thus, surface hardness, wear resistance and fatigue resistance of the gear are obviously improved; and c, deformation is reduced, gear processing and assembling dimension precision of the gear is improved, gear transmission balance is enhanced, noise is reduced, and the service life of the gear is prolonged.
