    摘要: A method of carburizing a powder metal part involving more than one carburizing step. In a pre-forging carburizing step, a powder metal part that is less than fully dense is carburized to establish a pre-forging carburization profile. After the pre-forging carburizing step, the powder metal part is forged so that the powder metal part is increased in density and the pre-forging carburization profile is transformed into an as-forged carburization profile. In a post-forging carburizing step following the forging step, the powder metal part is again carburized, thereby resulting in both further diffusion of carbon from the as-forged carburization profile into the powder metal part and further introduction of carbon into the powder metal part at a surface of the powder metal part.

    摘要: A method of sinter fitting a powder metal compact around a core forms a composite component. By exploiting the shrinkage associated with the sintering of a powder metal compact, a sintered powder metal section may be dimensionally shrunk onto a core to create a mechanical interference fit between a core section and a sintered powder metal section. This method may be used to join materials such as aluminum and steel together, which traditionally have been difficult to join to one another.

    摘要: An improved planetary gear carrier assembly is disclosed including a carrier and a ring. The carrier has a hub extending in an axial direction. The hub has splines on a radially-outward facing surface that extend in an axial direction and further has a first set of groove sections on the radially-outward facing surface in which the first set of groove sections extends circumferentially around the hub and through the splines. The ring is received around the hub of the carrier and has splines on a radially-inward facing surface. The splines in the ring are received in the first set of groove sections by axially nesting the splines of the carrier and ring into one another and then angularly rotating the ring relative to the carrier. With the splines of the ring twisted in the groove sections of the carrier, the ring can be axially restricted relative to the carrier.

    摘要: A power steering pump and water pump assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a power steering pump with a rotating shaft and a water pump. The water pump has a housing and a rotatable shaft for driving an impeller, which is mounted on an inner end of the shaft. An outer end of the water pump shaft engages the shaft of the power steering pump, and the power steering pump shaft drives the water pump shaft. The water pump may include a seal and a bearing having an inner race and outer race for supporting an outer end of the water pump shaft and cantilevering the shaft to support and journal the impeller. The shaft of the power steering pump may engage the shaft of the water pump through engagement of male and female torque transmitting profiles that axially slide together.
