Abstract
The gear housing is a casing that surrounds the mechanical components of a gear box. It provides mechanical support for the moving components, a mechanical protection from the outside world for those internal components, and a fluid-tight container to hold the lubricant that bathes those components. Traditionally it is made from cast iron or cast aluminium, using methods of permanent mold casting or shell molding. Weight of the component can be reduced by using polymers to increase fuel efficiency and rate of production is increased in injection molding. The main aim of this project is to suggest a polyamide material and optimize the process parameters like melt temperature, mold temperature, injection time in injection molding of the bell housing component made of polyamide to get best quality product without defects.
