wall inserts, within assemblies.
1.2 To enable rectification when defects or damage occur to the standard insert tapped installation hole, or
to rectify any out of position of the hole within the specified parameters of use.

3 Conditions of use
3.1 After reclamation, assemblies shall conform to the dimensional requirements of their respective
Engineering Drawings.
3.2 Table 1 shows the values for the maximum out of position as applied to the theoretical centreline of the
original hole. In practice this is a cylinder of diameter x,xx applied down the theoretical centreline of the original
hole. If the actual position of the hole centreline falls outside the perimeter of this cylinder, the hole cannot be
reclaimed.
3.3 Salvage using oversize inserts is only possible if the 'Boss thickness for component salvage' has been
used in the original design (see EN 3676:1998, Table 6).
3.4 The reclamation facility shall at this stage investigate the component Engineering Drawings to check
that the operations detailed and controlled by sections 4 and 5 will not cause a further non conformance of the
component.
Table 2 demonstrates that 2 types of oversize insert can be used i.e. long or short. Before commencing
reclamation, the original Engineering Drawings shall be checked to establish which type of standard insert has
been used i.e. long or short. The replacement oversize insert and accompanying dimensions from this
specification shall correspond with it, i.e. short for short, long for long.
Only one reclamation is possible using the oversize insert method for any one hole. Further non conformance
occurring to the oversize insert hole cannot be rectified using this method.
3.5 Performance: It should be noted that the salvage inserts conforming with EN 3915 give 10 reuses
at 550 °C.

4 Re-machining of an existing insert hole
4.1 The existing threaded portion of the insert hole shall be completely removed by using a correctly
aligned cutter (see Figure 1).
4.2 The cutter used shall enable the modified minor diameter B listed within Table 3 to be produced.
4.3 The old counterbore and serrations will be removed when the new counterbore is machined.
4.4 In the case of the original insert hole being out of position, the manufacture shall ensure that the new
oversize insert hole is machined in its correct position, see 3.2 and Table 1.

5.2 Table 3 and Figure 2 provide the necessary information for tapped holes to receive oversize thin wall
inserts.
The counterbore depth D applies when oversize inserts are to be installed into light alloy components and
prebroaching is not required. Counterbore depth D (refer to Figure 3 and Table 4) applies when oversize
inserts are to be installed into hard materials, i.e. steels, nickel and titanium alloys, and the counterbore will
need to be prebroached.

6 Installation of oversize inserts
6.1. Prior to installation check that the tapped hole, counterbore and serrations (if applicable) to receive the
oversize insert, are free from burrs and any foreign particles, grease, oil, etc.
6.2 Oversize inserts to be installed in aluminium or magnesium components shall be lightly smeared
externally with a suitable universal jointing compound to prevent electrolytic corrosion. Care shall be taken to
ensure the internal thread of the insert is not contaminated with any compound used.
The relevant drying period shall be observed before installation of the oversize insert, when apply
