Quality of a Re-Machined Pin or Journal
The quality of a pin or journal after machining has to meet following requirements:
- Geometrical tolerance in accordance with manufacturer specifications.
- A blueing check has to be carried out on the re-machining surface. Blueing Shells: Min. Width equivalent to Journal or Crank-pin dimensions respectively. Min. Length is equivalent to 1/5 of the Journal or crank-pin circumference.
- Required contact area: Min. 35% equally distributed over width and circumferences.
- Free of hairline cracks: Journal or crank pin to be tested by mean of Magnetic Particle crack detection method.
- Free of Martensite: The microstructure is to be tested for edged areas of martensite structure will replicas or micro etching with 5% nitric acid in alcohol (Nital) applied to the pin after polishing.
- The maximum admissible hardness of remaining local hardsports: However such local hardsports are not tolerated around the fillets and the bores for lubrication.
