One thing to keep in mind is to test the gears that you're going to be meshing with. If you make a really hard gear and it meshes with a really soft gear You're going to end up killing that softer gear pretty quickly.

As you point out this is probably way overkill for lathe back gears as some lathes like South Bends have back gears made from Mazak and they last many decades. None of the back gears or screwcutting box gears on my Harrison L6 are hardened in any way. They are very soft steel very much like a leaded steel but none show any signs of wear despite being in use since 1964....Great educational video about hardening all the same.👍

Hey, at 10:43 you say "slightly less than 0.1mm", but if I'm reading those calipers right it looks like slightly less than 1mm. By eye that would mean the gear teeth are hardened almost all the way through. Was that the intention? Great video by the way! I really appreciate someone covering case hardening like this, it's something I'd like to try at some point too.

Good Job, and well explained! I once made some simple lathe form tools from 1018 mild steel, then case hardened the heck out of them. Tempered slightly so they wouldn't chip or shatter, they did the job admirably. Even cheap cheese grade steels can be case hardened and used as tools or parts if they're not required for production quantities.

@@artisanmakes I think the suggestion was to use a second gear to lap the working faces of the teeth. Two identical (involute) gears correctly spaced should work as grinding partners to shape the other gear to exact involute profile. With case hardening you prefer not to grind them much unless you have precision machinery but lapping is a acceptable option.

Your explanation of hardenabiltiy is good. The surface will transform quickly, but the center of the cross section will take longer to cool. A higher hardenable steel will allow you drop below the ferrite and bainite start temperatures and get to the martensite start with a slower cooling rate. However, I doubt you could see a difference in surface hardness between this steel and a 41XX steel at the surface. In fact, with this small of a cross section I doubt you would see a difference in your core hardness as well. I am a metallurgist for a farily large carburzing heat treat shop. We use many different alloys of steel, 41XX, 86XX and 43XX. The 43XX would be similar to the steel that you used but less hardenable. Less Ni but with some Mo. When carburized under the same conditions, the 43XX and 41XX are indistinguishable at the suface. With this small of a section we would not see a difference in core hardness as well. Good work though. We do gas carburizing, i have never looked at a pack carburized part under the scope to see just how quickly it takes on carbon.

The softest material is going to preferentially wear, so this will cause wear on unhardened steel, steel will cause wear on brass, brass will cause wear on plastic, etc. In some cases this is a design feature, where the cheapest and easiest to replace gear in a mechanism is made from the weakest material.
@howardosborne8647

@@r2db That isn't always the way it works out. Often the harder material wears more rapidly than the softer component. This occurs because the softer material is prone to embedding of microscopic particulate and acts like a fine abrasive element wearing down the hardened component. A differential of hardness and softer materials is usually a desirable design element for shafts and bushings etc that run against one another.

To protect parts from scale during heat treatment, if you will use water based solvents as cooling liquid, you can use powder boric acid. Clean part with alcohol or any solvent to remove dirt and residues of oil etc, then heat it with a blow torch a bit and sprinkle with boric acid. Repeat untill whole part is covered. While cooling, boric acid will break by itself, making cleaning much easier.
