Properties that are important to Worm Wheel functions

[Vossi]

TL;DR

What properties(i.e., mechanical, physical, thermal, chemical, economic, manufacturability) are important to the functions of a Worm Wheel?

From what I've gather the primary benefits to worm wheels are:
- their ability to provide high reduction ratios
- self-locking which can be useful for hoisting and lifting applications.
- Operates silently and smoothly, which reduces vibrations

Feel free to add any important ones I might've missed, but what properties are important for these functions?
