1 PagesBalance Shaft Gear Industry Dura-Bar Grade Gray Iron Original Material Carbon Steel Problems Solved Reduced Noise, Improved Machining Productivity Converting this balance shaft gear application from carbon steel to Dura-Bar G2 to reduce noise and improve machining productivity proved to be a seamlessly successful conversion based on one factor : GRAPHITE! Dura-Bar’s G2 gray iron contains an abundance of carbon which precipitates out upon solidification as graphite flakes. To illustrate, imagine a bowl of corn flakes in gelatin: the corn flakes represent the graphite flakes which are spaced-out in random-orientation and shape suspended in gelatin, being that of the iron, metal matrix. Why is this so important? Noise and vibration produced within a system or singular part is damped sign
