Case Study

Challenge: A cylindrical part for a sprag race in a front-wheel drive automatic transmission that was hard enough on one surface to withstand constant wear, yet soft enough on the other surface to permit welding.
GKN Solution: We developed an innovative dual-material technology, which resulted in a component able to withstand further processing and induction hardening ...without the use of multiple components.
Results: This technology is now used widely around the world.
