For weight reduction of the gearbox of power bogie of high speed train, aluminum alloy is recommended for the material of the gerabox case. In this paper, three model(Steel G/B Case-Steel BRG. Case[model-S], Aluminum G/B Case-Aluminum BRG. Case[model-A], Aluminum G/B Case-Steel BRG. Case[model-AS]) were compared to each other in the view of thermal expansion. The evaluation of the internal load, thermal expansion deformation and lug analysis were executed. It results that the "model-A" is excessively deformed and fail in the bolt hole of bearing case. Material change of the bearing case to steel(model-AS) is effective to restrain the deformation of the inner radius of the bearing case and to prevent the failure of that.
