What materials are usually chosen for making gears?
Metal materials are the most commonly used materials in gear manufacturing, and there are many types, including cast iron, steel, copper alloy, aluminum alloy, etc.
Non-metallic materials mainly include plastics, ceramics, composite materials, etc.These materials have the advantages of being lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and low-noise, but have poor strength and toughness and are suitable for low-load, low-speed gears.
