The Role of Broaching Tools in TCF Maintenance
Broaching tools are essential for preparing holes in hard materials, typically those exceeding 30 HRC or 300 Vickers in hardness. In the context of TCF maintenance, these tools are used to pre-broach slots for inserts, ensuring a precise fit and secure installation. This step is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity and performance of the engine.
