Hi,
We are doing a gear box for a two wheeler (for the first time). Most of our benchmarks are of Suzuki and Honda bikes. All their gears are made of SCM420. Surprising part is these gear teeth are formed by cold forging. No machining at all!
Now, I was comparing the chemical composition of SCM420 with EN353 and there were few components similar (C, Cr, Mo, Si) and few different. [ol i]

- Marginally high P and S in SCM420.
- Plus, there is a small addition of Cu in SCM420.
- Most importantly Ni is very less.
