Reverse Engineering Service

Reverse engineering is the process of duplicating an item functionally and dimensionally by examining and measuring existing parts to develop the exact data (physical and material characteristics) that were utilized during original manufacturing. This requires determination of the alloy, and heat treatment processing of components.

Some of the processes of Metallurgical Technologies, Inc.'s reverse engineering services include:

Mechanical microhardness testing showing carbonized cast depth

Microhardness testing through the cross-section of a carburized case hardened 9310 alloy steel pinion gear.

Carburized case microstructure analysis of gear tooth

 

 

Low magnification view of the cross-section of a ring gear tooth. The tooth exhibits a uniform carburized case hardened structure. The core structure is quenched and tempered.
