Abstract: Harmonic gear drive is widely used in aerospace, industrial robots, precision medical and other fields, owing to its excellent properties, such as stable transmission, high transmission accuracy and efficiency, a wide range of transmission ratio, high bearing capacity, simple structure, small volume, light weight and so on. The material of rigid gear for harmonic gear drive at home and abroad is mostly ductile cast iron and alloy steel, and the rigid gear is mainly manufactured through low speed wire cut, gear hobbing or gear shaping, which have the disadvantages of low efficiency and high cost. The material prepared by powder metallurgy has not been applied in harmonic gear drive. This work herein proposed the application of Fe-Ni-Mo-Cu-C material made through powder metallurgy process in rigid gear of harmonic gear drive. The friction and wear properties of the mentioned powder metallurgy material were studied by the surface friction and wear tester. According to the results of white-light interference morphology, optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and 500 h bench test measurement, the Fe-Ni-Mo-Cu-1.0C material prepared by powder metallurgy has excellent friction and wear performance, which can meet the requirements of rigid gear for harmonic gear drive.
