The following mainly introduces the materials and characteristics of gears that are suitable for processing which gears.

Gears can be made from a variety of materials, including many types of steel, brass, bronze, cast iron, ductile iron, aluminum, powdered metals and plastics. Overall, steel is the most common material.

Commonly used materials for manufacturing gears are forged steel and cast steel, followed by cast iron. Non-ferrous metals and non-metallic materials can also be used under special circumstances. Steel: Steel with a carbon content of 1% to 6% is commonly used because it has the best performance (mechanical properties can be improved through heat treatment). Forged steel: Steel is forged to improve its performance. The most commonly used steel is 45 steel.

Cast steel is often used for larger gears. Cast iron Gray cast iron is brittle in nature, has poor impact resistance and wear resistance, but has better resistance to gluing and pitting corrosion. Gray cast iron gears are often used in situations where the operation is smooth, the speed is low, and the power is not high.
