Introduction
This Reuse and Salvage Guideline contains the necessary information in order to allow a dealer to
establish a parts reusability program. Reuse and salvage information enables Caterpillar dealers and
customers to benefit from cost reductions. Every effort has been made in order to provide the most
current information that is known to Caterpillar. Continuing improvement and advancement of product
design might have caused changes to your product which are not included in this publication. This
Reuse and Salvage Guideline must be used with the latest technical information that is available from
Caterpillar.
For additional information about this guideline, consult Repair Process Engineering of the Marketing &
Product Support Division at 1 (309) 675-5434.
Summary
Divided turbine housings provide significant benefits to the efficiency and response of turbochargers in
the low speed range and middle speed range of the engine. Divided turbine housings are commonly
used for engine applications that require a wide range of engine operating speeds. This provides
optimum fuel economy and a faster response to engine load.
Cracks will form in the turbine housing from thermal mechanical fatigue during the service life of a
turbocharger. An inspection of the turbine housing should be performed. Refer to Operation and
Maintenance Manual for guidelines and inspection intervals. Cracks that are found in the following
locations of the turbine housing may not be critical: tongue, divider wall and heat shield bore. Use the
criteria in this guideline to determine if the turbine housing can be reused. The housing should be
replaced if the cracks are not acceptable according to this guideline.
Studies have shown that turbine housings tend to crack in certain areas. Cracks are typically found in
the divider wall. This type of crack relieves stresses in the housing. Tests indicate that turbochargers
that have cracks in the locations that are listed above can continue to operate. The cracks will not
continue to grow and the performance of the turbocharger will not be affected. The cracks are normal
and the durability of the turbocharger will not be affected.

Reuse Information for Cracks in the Turbine Housing

This document discusses cracks that can be found in the following parts of the turbine housing:
Divider wall
Tongue
Heat shield bore
Turbine housing exterior
Exhaust gas inlet flange area
The characteristics of the cracks will determine if the turbine housing can be reused. Refer to the reuse
information that is provided in this document.
Cracks in the divider wall

The turbine housings that are represented in Illustration 5 and Illustration 6 are reusable.
Reuse criteria for cracks in the divider wall of the turbocharger housing:
Do not reuse any housing that has cracks in the divider wall closer than 12 mm (0.5 inch) from each
other. Do not reuse any housing that has major cracks or shift in the divider wall. Cracks should only be
considered if the following criteria are met.
The crack is continuous through the thickness of the divider wall.
The length of the crack is greater than 5 mm (0.1969 inch).
There is no limit on the number of cracks in the divider wall that are allowed. However, the spacing
between cracks needs to be evaluated. Do not reuse any housing that has cracks in the divider wall
closer than 12 mm (0.5 inch) from each other.
Scaling corrosion should not be considered as cracking.
Scaling due to corrosion, or cracks in the layer of corrosion on the divider wall do not count as a radial
crack. Illustration 7 shows an example of a scaling corrosion which has the appearance of a crack.
Scaling corrosion should not be considered as cracking.
Do not reuse the turbocharger housing if cracks with the following characteristics are found in
the divider wall:
Cracks that cause the divider wall to shift more than 2 mm (0.0787 inch) radially toward the
turbine wheel should not be used. Refer to Illustrations 8 and 9.
Cracks that cause the divider wall to distort more than 2 mm (0.0787 inch) axially should not be
used. Refer to Illustration 10.
Cracks in the Divider Wall
Do not reuse the turbocharger housing.
Significant radial shift of divider wall

Crack in the tongue
Reuse criteria for cracks in the tongue of the turbine housing:
There should be no more than one crack in the tongue on each side of the divider wall.
The housing is not reusable if the length of the crack is greater than 20 mm (0.7874 inch).
Cracks in the Bore of the Heat Shield
The crack must be less than 20 mm (0.7874 inch) in order to reuse the turbocharger.
Crack in the bore of the heat shield
Reusable
Crack in the bore of the heat shield
Reuse criteria for cracks in the bore of the heat shield:
Cracks in the bore of the heat shield should not have a gap that is greater than 1 mm (0.0394
inch).
The length of the crack should not be greater than 20 mm (0.7874 inch).
Exterior Cracks in the Turbine Housing
The following cracks in the turbine housing are not acceptable.
Do not reuse the turbine housing if the following types of cracks are found:
Cracks that are visible on the exterior of the turbine housing should not be used. Refer to
Illustrations 17, 18, and 19.
Cracks in the divider wall at the exhaust gas inlet flange should not be reused. Refer to
Illustration 20.
Cracks that are Visible on the Exterior of the Turbine Housing
Exterior crack in the inlet flange area
Exterior visible cracks
Exterior crack in the inlet flange area
Cracks in the Flange of the Exhaust Inlet
Crack in divider wall of the exhaust inlet
Reuse Information for Corrosion of the Turbine Housing

Housings with excessive scaling or corrosion on any area of the turbine housing should not be reused.
The worst scaling is typically found on the divider wall at the exhaust gas inlet.
Note: Scaling is an indication of higher than normal exhaust gas temperature. Further investigation may
be necessary in order to determine the root cause of the scaling.
Scaling occurs as cracks develop in the layers of corrosion. The cracks allow corrosion to flake off of
the wall of the turbine housing. Thermal expansion and contraction during normal operation can
contribute to scaling.
Corrosion of the turbine housing
Scaling and Cracking of the Exhaust Divider Wall
Scaling and cracking of the exhaust divider wall Material is flaking off of the corroded area.
Corrosion on the Divider Wall and Interior Housing Surface
Corrosion typically occurs in turbine housings without material that is flaking off of the surface. This
type of corrosion is acceptable. The surfaces that are shown in Illustration 22 and Illustration 23 are
acceptable.
Corrosion Without Material that is Flaking Off of the Housing
Reusable
Corrosion without material that is flaking off of the housing
Reusable
Corrosion without material that is flaking off of the housing
Corrosion of the surface with material that is flaking off of the housing
Corrosion of the surface with material that is flaking off
Severe corrosion that results from higher operating temperatures will result in material that flakes off
the surface of the turbine housing. This level of corrosion is unacceptable. The housing should not be
reused.
