Presented by: AGMA, the AGMA Foundation, Raymond Drago, P.E. & Roy J. Cunningham, Drive Systems Technology, Inc.

AGMA is pleased to announce the creation of a new seminar focused on gear material selection. "Gear Materials: Selection, Metallurgy, Heat Treatment, and Quality Control" will be taught by Raymond J. Drago, P. E., Chief Engineer and Roy J. Cunningham, Senior Metallurgist, Drive Systems Technology, Inc. 

The gear design engineer is responsible for the initial selection of material and heat treatment but the finalization of both material and thermal processing must be a joint effort.  This seminar will answer these questions and will show how the gear design engineer first approaches the problem of material selection and heat treatment technology, as influenced by the performance and life requirements of the gear set and how the gear metallurgist should participate in and thereby optimize the finalized gear manufacturing process.

The seminar will also enhance the ability of both the gear design engineer and the gear metallurgist to better grasp their relative, related critical roles in the exciting world of gear processing, heat treatment and inspection. Interspersed in the course will be examples of gear related problems, failures, and improved processing procedures. Analyses and comments on a number of relevant failures will be given. Questions, comments and related experience by attendees will be encouraged.

Who should attend this seminar? 
While the subject matter is wide ranging and rather in-depth, the overall level of the seminar is constructed and presented at a level such that the content will be valuable to a rather broad range of interests including: gear design engineers and management involved with the design and manufacture of gearing type components; metallurgists and materials engineers; laboratory technicians; quality assurance engineers; furnace design engineers; and equipment suppliers.
