Corrosion resistance - AISI 4340 involute spline driveshaft
Corrosion resistance - AISI 4340 involute spline driveshaft
(OP)
thread78-38302: Material for drive shafts.
Hi,
I'm designing a gearbox driveshaft and I'm interested to use AISI 4340 as material.
Is advisable to apply a plating/coating or a thermal treatment in order to improve the corrosion resistance on the spline teeth?
Thanks
Pierluigi

Use caution when plating this type of material, due to an increased risk of Hydrogen Embrittlement.
