Non-Destructive Disassembly of Interference Fit under Wear Conditions for Sustainable Remanufacturing

Remanufacturing has been gaining increasing attention in the last few years as a part of green engineering. It is process restoring original specifications given product utilizing combination new, repaired, and old parts. The present study investigates non-destructive disassembly an interference fit pin-hub joint to enable reuse worn parts with same loading capacity. aim reduce force while preventing plastic deformation frictional damage on contact surface avoid fretting failure further coating. A finite element model shaft/hub was developed, taking into account two cases mating parts: corrosion. results indicate that thermal effective reducing breaking by 50% deformed joints, whereas vibration waves are more suitable for corroded increased friction. In addition, applying low-frequency oscillation axis reduces pulling out 5% 99% due acoustic softening effects. Furthermore, using heat flux simultaneously decreases 85%, indicating higher effectiveness thermal-aided vibration-assisted This provides remanufacturing designers efficient tools weaken decrease disconnecting force, ultimately cost time required process.
