It has been found that under favorable friction conditions some antiwear el
ements in lubricating additives can permeate into subsurface of metal which
can strengthens the friction surfaces and improves anti-wear capacity of f
rication pairs. It is in many ways similar to chemical heat treatment. A ne
w concept, technology of on-line strengthening, was logically put forward.
Based on current gear surface treatment technology, the on-line strengthen
of gear surface is proposed. Its design method is established. Based on it,
the on-line strengthen of gear is achieved on CL-100 gear test machine. A
new method is put forward for strengthen treatment of gear surface. And thr
ee kinds of surface film were suggested.
