Forming and Manufacturing Technology of High-Performance Gears

Dear Colleagues,

Gears are the core component of a transmission system, which is widely used in automotive, aerospace, nuclear energy, and other fields. Gear performance determines the reliability and service performance of equipment. In order to meet the escalating demands for precision, longevity, and efficiency under extreme operating conditions of transmission systems in automotive, aerospace, and other fields, it is necessary to change and innovate advanced high-performance forming manufacturing technology for gears. In order to deeply discuss the research progress of gear high-performance forming manufacturing technology and share cutting-edge research results, we are pleased to invite you to a Special Issue with the title 'Forming and Manufacturing Technology of High Performance Gears' for the open access journal Materials.

This Special Issue aims to create a high-level interdisciplinary, open, and comprehensive academic exchange platform for scientific and technological innovation and promote scientific and technological innovation, exchange, and cooperation in advanced gear manufacturing technology with a global perspective. This Special Issue also aims to bring together the latest cutting-edge scientific research results of high-performance manufacturing technology from global experts to jointly explore the future road of high-performance manufacturing technology and help the high-quality development of the gear industry.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: new generation gear materials, gear plastic-forming technology, gear heat treatment process, gear precision control, and so on.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
