Selection of material for gears depends up on working properties and the type of gears which is being used.
Generally the selection of gear and pinion should have good anti friction properties so that they run smoothly with out any friction.
Example for worm gears pinion- PBII
Gear - En353,En8,En24
But while selecting material for pinion is much stronger than gear becoz the pinion rotates more than that of gear..

Refer AGMA
