Checking Tuffriding (Soft Nitriding) Coating
Clean the crankshaft thoroughly using an organic solvent.
Make sure there is no oil or grease in the area to be tested.
Using a glass rod, put a drop of cupric ammonium chloride
5/10% solution at the test location [A].
If no change takes place after an interval of 30–40
seconds, the crankshaft can be re–used if within
specifications.
Replace the crankshaft, if within the 30–40 seconds, the
original color of the solution (light blue in color) becomes
transparent where the test solution was dropped and will
discolor to a copper color.
Immediately after the test is completed, wipe off the area
with a cloth and thoroughly rinse with water.
NOTE: Since the crankshaft is tuffride coated it
cannot be reground.
Checking The Crankshaft
Check the crankshaft connecting rod journals [B].
