Frequently Asked Questions

What are the primary benefits of 18Ni300 maraging steel in gear manufacturing?

18Ni300 maraging steel provides an exceptional balance of ultra-high strength and fracture toughness. Coupled with additive manufacturing, it achieves high fatigue resistance and can reach up to 63 HRC surface hardness post-heat treatment.

How does hybrid manufacturing improve precision and performance?

By combining DMLS additive manufacturing for near-net-shape geometry and optimized internal structures with 5-axis CNC machining, components maintain internal weight-saving features while achieving <0.005mm positional accuracy and AGMA 14 quality standard finishes.

Can internal cooling channels be integrated directly into the gear body?

Yes. Using DMLS 3D printing technology, conformal and internal cooling channels can be incorporated inside the gear structure to improve thermal management, a feature impossible with traditional subtractive-only methods.

What surface treatment methods are compatible with these parts?

Depending on functional requirements, we offer advanced surface finishing including Graphene Coating for friction reduction, Cold Spray for material buildup and wear enhancement, and Laser Surface Texturing for improved lubrication retention.

How is quality control and material integrity verified?

Components are produced under controlled inert atmospheres to achieve 99.7% density. Every component undergoes strict quality testing, solution annealing, precision grinding, and full material batch traceability documentation.
