Various in-situ methods can track realtime heat treatment response in bulk materials. This can aid material engineers in designing the most effective heat treatment procedures and processing methods. In-situ methods such as thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and dilatometry, offer capabilities to examine heat treatment behavior in real time, giving insight into the thermochemical mechanisms and the thermal behavior of steel.
With government mandates to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, decarbonizing the largest industrial emitters has become an essential research focus. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported that industrial point sources in the United States (U.S.) emitted 1.45 billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) in 2022, accounting for 23 percent of all domestic CO2 emissions for that year (Refs. 1,2). One of the largest contributors to industrial emissions is the iron and steel industry, which was responsible for 2.5 percent of total U.S. GHG emissions in 2023 (Ref. 3). Due to the large quantity of emissions available for capture from this industrial sector, iron/steel production facilities present an impactful opportunity for industrial decarbonization.

The manufacturing of differential gears went away from the Revacycle broaching process to forging more than 30 years ago. Today, where electric vehicles create a peak torque which are a multiple higher than in vehicles with internal combustion engines, the strength and the Noise Vibration Harshness (NVH) advantages of cut differential gears are revisited. The newly developed Coniflex Pro straight bevel gears combine several new features which make them stronger and quieter than past straight bevel gears and far superior to the forged version.
