MOST STEEL GEAR APPLICATIONS REQUIRE APPRECIABLE LOADS TO BE APPLIED THAT WILL RESULT IN HIGH BENDING AND COMPRESSIVE STRESSES. FOR THE MATERIAL (STEEL) TO MEET THIS PERFORMANCE CRITERIA, THE GEAR MUST BE HEAT TREATED, AND ASSOCIATED WITH THIS THERMAL PROCESSING IS DISTORTION. TO CONTROL THE DISTORTION AND ACHIEVE REPEATABLE DIMENSIONAL TOLERANCES, THE GEAR WILL BE CONSTRAINED DURING THE QUENCHING CYCLE OF THE HEAT TREATMENT PROCESS. THIS TYPE OF FIXTURE QUENCHING IS THE FUNCTION OF GEAR QUENCH PRESSING EQUIPMENT.
