Abstract: Taking 17CrNiMo6 steel gear shaft as the research object, carburizing with pre-heat and direct carburizing processes of the gear shaft were quantitatively analyzed by finite element software, and the main pre-heat process parameters affecting the heat treatment distortion of the gear shaft were determined. The temperature field and stress field in the two processes were compared and analyzed, and the effect of pre-heat treatment on the heat treatment distortion of gear shaft was studied. The results show that pre-heat treatment at 400 ℃ for 3 h before carburizing can effectively reduce the heat treatment distortion of the gear shaft.

Key words: 17CrNiMo6 steel, gear shaft, pre-heat treatment, thermal stress, heat treatment distortion
