The problem of choice of thermochemical treatment method for road construction machinery gear wheels was discussed in this article. The mathematical model and software were designed to organize the effective selection of surface hardening method according to required level of contact fatigue resistance. The software was applied to design a technology of the hard loaded gear wheels thermochemical treatment.
gear wheels, vacuum carburizing, plasma nitriding, contact fatigue resistance, mathematical modeling.
