Unless its a timing/cog belt, then it's a sprocket. At least that's what Gates, Goodyear, Carlisle (Dayton) and Bando call them in their catalogs.

Blower Pulleys, Gilmer belt sprockets, Timming Belt Pulleys, whew..any way make sure you have the pulleys (sprockets, gilmer ect ) HARD ANODIZED prior to using. Then buff lightly to "blend" the little mountains of the anodized down.
Alum won't last long ( even 7075 )due to the cam bounce ( NC Cams could explain better about the inhearant vibrations a cam prduces due to valve spring pressures ) with out a good hard anodize..
