Estudo da engenharia reversa em componente de sistema de tração por esteira no blindado leopardo 1A5-BR

Abstract

In the past years, worldwide have produced millions of products and machine parts. Due to continuous advances in technology, the lifecycle of products has become increasingly shorter. This scenario includes heavy machinery and equipment used in agriculture, construction, military, among other fields. However, many products continue to be utilized even after being discontinued by the manufacturers, driving the market for replacement parts and even aftermarket parts. Consequently, technical information regarding material characteristics, technical drawings, and specifications may no longer be available, impacting the quality and reliability of components. In this context, the aim of the thesis is to explore the application of Reverse Engineering in a component of the propulsion system in the Leopard 1A5-BR. To accomplish this task, the necessary tools and methods will be employed to obtain dimensional characterization, develop technical drawings, and determine the types of tests required to generate an appropriate chemical composition report for specimen testing. The expected outcome is to obtain an engineering package consisting of the delivery of all the mechanical properties of the material necessary for manufacturing, while validating the effectiveness of reducing costs and production time using the reverse engineering tool.
