This standard describes the specification data required toadequately inform the producer of powder metallurgy (P/M) gearsabout the gear design features desired by the purchaser. It alsodescribes some of the related industry practices which commonlyapply unless replaced by written agreement between producer andpurchaser.
Types of gears
The general specifications in this standard cover selected typesof gears made by the P/M process. Specifications on gear toothgeometry are described in detail for external spur and helicalgears and for straight bevel gears. Similar specifications can alsobe applied to other types of gears, such as internal gears, withthe substitution and addition of the required gear featuredata.
Types of P/M processes
This standard applies to gears made by the conventional P/Mprocess consisting of compaction followed by sintering and, in somecases, by post sintering treatments. Gearsmade by metal injectionmolding (MIM) or other P/M processes may require otherspecifications or practices.
