The invention provides a carburized
gear tooth crest modification and
shot peening composite strengthening method, which belongs to the field of gear precision
machining and manufacturing, and is characterized in that the part, close to the tooth crest, of a modified
tooth surface is subjected to modification, and secondary
shot peening strengthening with different
shot peening strengths is carried out on a modified gear. The method specifically needs to preset a certain point of a
tooth surface as a tooth crest modification starting point; according to the starting point, an arc curve tangent to a
tooth surface involute is established to serve as a tooth top modification curve; establishing a gear
load analysis model to perform parameter optimization on the preselected modification starting point and the circular curve
radius; carrying out high-precision modification
processing according to the optimally designed modification parameters; shot
peening strengthening is conducted on the gear subjected to shape modification
machining; and finally, detecting the surface performance and the fatigue performance of the gear. Tooth top modification and shot
peening strengthening can be combined for use, the gear surface is subjected to combined strengthening, the tooth surface performance of the machined gear is improved, and the
contact fatigue performance and the
bending fatigue performance of the gear can be improved at the same time.
