Check out this amazing forging crown wheel process performed by professionals. However, you can see they are working without a single pair of safety glasses, a helmet or a special suit for high temperature.
It seems that nothing can be done in this world without the mechanical engineers. I’m really proud to be mechanical engineers. The Crown wheel is actually a very big gear that connects the propeller shaft and the differential in mid of the rear axle. So, this process is actually all about the gear manufacturing. As you can see a machine must be applied in order to achieve the final surface, dimensions, shape in the gear.
As you may know forging is a famous manufacturing process that includes the shaping of metal using the localized compression forces. s you can see on the video below the blows are delivered with a die but it can be made with a hammer as well. However, forging is one of the oldest metal-working processes. It has many advantages, one of the most important is that a piece produced with forging is much stronger than an equivalent machined or a cast part.
