French term or phrase: craquelures longitudinales de la couche cémentée dans quatre fonds de denture
Hi there,
I am trying to translate the following phrase which relates to a trawler's speed reducer breaking down.
"Le Service technique des constructions et armes navales (Stcan) établit un rapport selon lequel la rupture de la jante trouvait son origine dans l'existence de craquelures longitudinales de la couche cémentée dans quatre fonds de denture"
Any thoughts on the problem terminology would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help!

It's not that I prefer one to the other but that I am not familiar with "trough" in this context. In terms of image of course it is perfectly understandable, and there might possibly be a difference between gears with a distinguishable "flat" bottom land and gears with a more "shell" (obus) shaped tooth which would be more of a trough shape at the bottom.

apparently it is now the DCNS, see http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCNS

Bourth is right about "bottom land"

Asker: Hi there, Thanks for your very informative answer! I was just wondering why you prefer the term bottom land to trough in this context? Is there a specific technical difference? "in the case-hardened layer of four gear teeth troughs" "in the case-hardened layer at the bottom land of four gear teeth" Thanks again!
