Low alloyed high-grade chrome-molybdenum ferritic steel transmission output shaft was investigated. The medium-carbon steel which is commonly used induction hardened transmission components and drive shafts in the automotive industry. The aim of this experiment is achieve the case depth that spline shaft design requirement. The required case depth for design the proper induction hardening coil and varying the parameter of it has been achieved. The results agree well with literatures, that optimum case depth maximizing the strength and fatigue life of spline shaft.
