    Heavy Gear & Pinion Casting Solutions

    TDC Alloys is an ISO 9001:2015 certified, industry-leading Gear & Pinion Casting Manufacturer in Ahmedabad, delivering high-integrity cast steel gear and drive pinion sets for heavy mechanical power transmission. The gear wheel and its driving pinion form the foundational torque-multiplying core of heavy industrial machinery, demanding tight metallurgical compatibility, uniform grain structure, and high tooth root bending strength. Our Gear & Pinion Casting in Ahmedabad uses 3D solidification mold-flow modeling, electric induction melting, and high-density sand molding to manufacture castings engineered for zero internal porosity and maximum fatigue life.

    From rotary kiln girth gear wheels and high-torque mill drive pinions to heavy spur, helical, and double-helical reduction gear sets, TDC Alloys manufactures components from 10 kg up to 3,000 kg per piece. We pour high-strength alloy steels (ASTM A148 Gr. 90-60, 105-85, 120-95), chrome-moly steels (42CrMo4, En19), Ni-Cr-Mo steels (34CrNiMo6, En24), and carbon steels (IS 1030). All gear and pinion castings undergo 100% volumetric Ultrasonic Testing (UT) across the rim and roots to guarantee flawless gear cutting across Ahmedabad.

    Gear & Pinion Metallurgy & Material Performance

    As a specialized Gear & Pinion Casting Manufacturer in Ahmedabad, TDC Alloys matches metallurgy between mating gear and pinion pairs:

    Drive Pinion High-Hardness Alloys (42CrMo4, AISI 4140, En19)

    High core strength and hardenability for drive pinions undergoing higher cycle fatigue than mating gears, responsive to tooth induction hardening.

    Heavy Shock-Load Pinion Steels (34CrNiMo6, AISI 4340, En24)

    Nickel-Chrome-Moly alloys designed for heavy shock loads in ball mill and crusher drive pinions, maintaining high notch impact toughness.

    Mating Gear Steels (ASTM A148 Gr. 90-60, 105-85)

    Selected with hardness differential (pinion typically 30-50 HB harder than gear wheel) to ensure balanced wear rates and long operational service life.

    Large Web Cast Carbon Steels (IS 1030 Gr. 280-520W / ASTM A27)

    Normalized cast carbon steels delivering reliable weldability, vibration damping, and structural soundness for massive gear wheel rims and spokes.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. Why is matched metallurgy critical for gear & pinion casting sets?

    Mating gears and pinions need a controlled hardness differential (the smaller pinion experiences many more stress cycles and must be slightly harder) to ensure even wear and prevent tooth galling.

    2. What single-piece weight capacity does TDC Alloys provide for gear & pinion castings?

    We produce single-piece castings from 10 kg up to 3,000 kg and pitch diameters up to 3.5+ meters.

    3. Does TDC Alloys provide tooth contour induction hardening?

    Yes. Our heat treatment facilities offer full normalizing, quenching & tempering, and specialized tooth profile induction hardening to achieve required root and flank hardness.

    4. How does TDC Alloys inspect gear & pinion castings for internal soundness?

    Every gear and pinion undergoes 100% volumetric Ultrasonic Testing (UT per ASTM A609) across the rim and roots, plus Magnetic Particle Testing (MPI) to guarantee zero subsurface defects.

    5. What test certifications are supplied with gear & pinion casting shipments to Ahmedabad?

    Every shipment includes EN 10204 3.1 Material Test Certificates with 28-element optical spectrometry, mechanical tensile and Charpy impact tests, and NDT reports.
