Abstract: The changes of microstructure and properties of 20CrMnTiH steel synchronizer gear hub after vacuum low pressure carburizing heat treatment were studied and compared with that by atmosphere carburizing heat treatment process. The results show that there is almost no intergranular oxidation and non-martensitic structure after vacuum carburizing heat treatment, and the control of intergranular oxidation is much better than that of atmosphere carburizing heat treatment. High pressure gas quenching is superior to oil quenching in heat treatment distortion control of the gear hub.
