    The document discusses suitable materials, heat treatments, and hardness ranges for different load types in gear manufacturing. Table 5 lists materials and recommended heat treatment methods for light, medium, heavy, and special loads. Table 6 provides hardness ranges for various steel grades after different heat treatments like thermal refining, quenching, induction hardening, and case hardening. Hardness is measured on both the surface and core.

    Note
    (1) Refer to Table 5 for Load, Material and Heat treatment. Core hardness is equivalent to Thermal refining hardness.
    (2) Applying Induction hardening to teeth is not advisable.
    (3) Hardness is (50-53) for water cooling and 50 - 55 is for oil cooling.
    (4) Maximum hardness.
