Rack material and heat-treatment guide

Select material and process from tooth strength, core toughness, corrosion, noise and environment.

TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE

Technical explanation

Medium-carbon and alloy steels gain strength and wear resistance through conditioning or induction hardening; critical tooth finishing is commonly performed after heat treatment.

Stainless suits corrosive or hygienic environments; polymers can reduce noise at light load but require temperature, moisture and stiffness checks.

Confirm material together with module, section, case depth, hardness, straightness and grinding allowance.
