Abstract

Disclosed herein is a high-strength transmission gear, manufactured by gas-nitriding a nitriding steel having a composition including iron (Fe) as a main component, 0.25˜0.40 wt % of carbon (C), 0.50˜1.0 wt % of manganese (Mn), 2.0˜3.0 wt % of chromium (Cr), 0.3˜1.0 wt % of molybdenum (Mo), 0.2˜0.7 wt % of copper (Cu), 0.03˜0.1 wt % of niobium (Nb), 0.03˜0.1 wt % of aluminum (Al), 0.05˜0.15 wt % of vanadium (V), 0.001˜0.005 wt % of boron (B) and other inevitable impurities. More specifically, while gas-nitriding of the nitriding steel, the temperature is increased in steps, and the ratio of nitrogen gas in the nitriding steel is decreased in steps.
