🔍 Key Concepts

• Effect of raised metal/burrs on meshing gear teeth after an indentation • Purpose of relieving or dressing damaged areas on gear teeth vs. full replacement • Risks of continuing to operate reduction gears with even slight damage without corrective action

💭 Think About

• What happens to contact stress and tooth loading if an indentation leaves high spots or raised metal on the tooth surface? • In normal marine practice, when damage is slight and localized, what is the usual first corrective step before considering full gear replacement? • Which options actually change the tooth contact condition, and which options simply observe or minimally intervene without correcting the mesh?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice specifically addresses raised/peened metal around the indentation, not just the foreign material itself. • Check which action is appropriate for slight, localized damage (not severe damage) in a critical component like a main reduction gear. • Eliminate any option that leaves a known defect in the tooth contact area without proper corrective treatment.
