The Face Has Minor Wear Only<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p3\">If the face has light scratches or dullness but no deep cracks or major distortion, it can be re-lapped easily.<\/p><p class=\"p3\">Minor flatness deviations (under 5 \u00b5m) can usually be corrected.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>2). The Substrate Integrity Is Intact<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p3\">If there are no fractures, edge chipping, or binder leaching issues, the carbide structure remains stable enough for reuse.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>3). The Surface Coating Is Restorable<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p3\">For coated faces (like DLC or TiN), re-lapping can be followed by re-coating. This gives a refreshed sealing surface with the same chemical resistance.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>4).

Deep Cracks or Fractures<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p3\">Once a carbide face has internal cracks, lapping cannot fix it. The integrity is lost, and it may fail again under stress.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>2). Severe Erosion or Leaching<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p3\">If corrosion or binder leaching has created pores or weakened areas, re-lapping will not restore mechanical strength.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>3). Edge Chipping Beyond Repair<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p3\">Small chips can sometimes be smoothed out, but large or structural edge damage makes the face unsuitable for reuse.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>4). Thickness Below Minimum<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p3\">Each lapping process removes material. If the face becomes thinner than design limits, sealing pressure and stiffness are reduced.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div

less than 40% of a new part, it\u2019s generally worthwhile.<\/p><\/li><li class=\"li3\"><p>Remaining Thickness \u2013 If more than 90% of the original thickness remains, reuse is
