==STEEL FOR GEAR AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING GEAR USING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18396165 titled 'STEEL FOR GEAR AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING GEAR USING THE SAME

==Simplified Explanation==

The steel for a gear described in the patent application has specific composition ranges for various elements such as carbon, silicon, manganese, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, niobium, and vanadium, with the balance being iron and inevitable impurities. The contents of niobium and vanadium must satisfy a certain relationship formula.

* This steel composition is tailored for use in gears, providing specific mechanical properties required for efficient gear performance.
* The inclusion of elements like chromium, nickel, and molybdenum enhances the steel's strength, wear resistance, and toughness, making it suitable for high-stress applications.
* The balance of elements in the steel ensures a good combination of hardness and machinability, crucial for gear manufacturing processes.

== Potential Applications ==
The steel composition can be used in various gear applications such as automotive transmissions, industrial machinery, and power generation equipment.

== Problems Solved ==
This steel formulation addresses the need for a material with specific mechanical properties tailored for gear applications, ensuring optimal performance and durability under high loads and harsh operating conditions.

== Benefits ==
- Improved strength and wear resistance
- Enhanced toughness and durability
- Good machinability for ease of manufacturing

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
The steel can be utilized by gear manufacturers, automotive companies, and industrial equipment producers looking for high-performance materials for their products.

== Possible Prior Art ==
Prior art may include existing steel compositions for gear applications, but the specific combination of elements and the relationship formula for niobium and vanadium in this patent application may be novel.
