Crack Repair Of Aluminium | Bronze And Cast Iron Component By Metal Lock & Metal Stitching

By RAPowerSolution |

RA Power Solutions is one of the oldest companies based in New Delhi, India, undertaking crack repairs of damaged heavy components, manufactured out of cast iron, bronze, aluminium, and cast steel by cold process of metal lock and metal stitching.

Metal stitching and metal locking is a simple but proven process of repairing cracks in heavy components without following the wielding method, which generates excessive heat.

We observe that heavy components made of cast iron, bronze, cast steel, and aluminium often get damaged due to accidents. When the damaged portion of the casting breaks into pieces, replacement with a new component is usually not possible. A new part is expensive, takes time to manufacture, or belongs to obsolete equipment.

RA Power Solutions has experienced technicians who cut off the damaged portion of the component completely. They make a new casting of cast iron, cast steel, or aluminium as per the original component and bring it to the site. The team assembles the new casting properly and metal stitches it using the best quality metal keys and locks.
