Hardened Steel Distributor Gear at Deloris Colvin blog

Hardened Steel Distributor Gear. Distributor gears are available in four different materials: Comp cams (and several others) say there are only 4 distributor gear materials.bronze, poly, cast iron, or melonized. Getting the right material is the most important part of choosing a distributor gear. Melonized or hardened steel distributor gear. This process involves reactions in a molten salt bath ferritic nitrocarburizing. The gear should be slightly softer than the camshaft. Both gm and ford used a heat treating process called melonizing to harden the distributor gears. If the steel gear is not hardened, it is not compatible with either of the roller cam types. Melonized and everwear and ‘hardened steel’ or just plain ‘hardened’ are all different ways of describing the same kind of. Melonized gears are steel or iron gears that have been hardened through a thermochemical process to make them resistant to wear, corrosion, and scuffing. Composite (light, durable, and soft), bronze (for use with billet steel cams), cast iron. At least for the gm pieces, these gears were easy to identify with a light silver cast to the material. The cams are made from a slightly harder material, specifically 5150 steel for the gm engines, that required a more robust distributor gear.
