INSERT SALVAGING

WHAT IS INSERT SALVAGING?

Insert salvaging is a specialized process used to restore or repair threaded inserts, fittings, or other embedded components in metal or non-metal parts. Rather than scrapping an entire part due to a damaged insert, salvaging techniques allow the component to be repaired, saving time and reducing costs. This process may involve removing and replacing inserts, repairing damaged threads, or re-machining the area to accommodate a new fitting.
