AMES is able to manufacture high-density, high-performance gears using its AmesDens-A and AmesDens-C processes. The process to be used depends on the geometry and density that are required. For top-performance gears, AMES offers its SurfaDens surface densification process, which achieves an accurate tooth profile and a surface density comparable to that of a conventional wrought steel component.
