Advancements in Gear Cutting Tools for High-Precision Transmission Systems

Abstract

The development of gear cutting tools plays a vital role in modern manufacturing industries, particularly in the automotive, aerospace, and power transmission sectors. Gear accuracy, surface finish, and dimensional stability directly influence the performance, noise reduction, and efficiency of mechanical systems. This paper presents a comprehensive study on gear cutting tools, focusing on conventional techniques such as hobbing, shaping, and broaching, along with advanced methods including skiving, milling, and non-traditional machining processes like electro-discharge machining (EDM) and laser cutting. The paper evaluates tool materials such as high-speed steel (HSS), carbide, and coated tools with TiN, TiAlN, and diamond-like coatings, which significantly enhance tool life and cutting efficiency. Recent advancements in gear cutting tools have significantly enhanced the precision, efficiency, and durability of transmission systems. The development of advanced materials such as carbide, ceramic, and coated tool steels has improved tool life and cutting accuracy.
