Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of making a worm gear is provided. The method comprises forming a gear hub from a powdered metal material. Thereafter an outer surface of the gear hub is sealed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of making a worm gear comprising: forming a gear hub from a porous material; and sealing an outer surface of the gear hub; and exposing the outer surface to a silane solution after sealing the outer surface. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein sealing is performed by oxidizing the outer surface of the gear hub. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein sealing is performed by impregnating the outer surface of the gear hub with a resin. 4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising hobbing a plurality of teeth along an outer circumferential edge of the gear hub. 5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising forming or placing a polymeric ring overlaying a portion of the gear hub. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the porous material is a powdered metal material. 7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising pressing the powdered metal material to form the gear hub. 8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising sintering the powdered metal material to form the gear hub. 9. The method of claim 8 , wherein sealing is performed by steam treating the outer surface of the gear hub.
