Ferrium® C69
Aerospace Gear Steel to be tested by NASA

Working with the Battelle NASA Illinois Commercialization Center and NASA Glenn Research Center, QuesTek has completed manufacturing and processing of 25 high power density gear sets of Ferrium® C69 that will undergo extensive testing and analysis beginning in December 2003.

The NASA Glenn Research Center will conduct a set of spur gear fatigue tests to produce 10,000 hours of total test time. Testing of the gear sets is schedules to be complete by June 2004 and the final analysis is to be complete in August. The results of the testing and the statistical analysis of the fatigue data will then be published in a NASA Technical paper.
