🔍 Key Concepts

• Material properties under high shock and torsional loads in main propulsion systems • Differences between forged vs cast metals in terms of grain structure and strength • Typical materials used for high-speed, high-load gears in marine reduction gearboxes

💭 Think About

• Which material can safely withstand continuous high torque, shock loading, and cyclic stress found in main reduction gears? • How does forging change the metal’s internal structure compared to casting, and why does that matter for a fast-rotating gear tooth? • Of the listed materials, which are more commonly used for low-load components versus highly stressed drivetrain parts?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any materials that are too soft or low-strength for gear teeth in a main propulsion train • Consider which process gives the toughest, most fatigue-resistant gear material under repeated load • Think about what material class is standard for critical power-transmission gears rather than housings, bearings, or propellers
