CRACK REPAIR OF LARGE CAST IRON COMPONENT | 45 YEARS OF EXPERTISE

Accidents in the case of rotatory equipment are common. Again, it is observed that in the case of stationary heavy-duty machinery parts made out of cast iron or cast steel, cracks develop due to fatigue, casting defects, or mechanical failures. The misalignment of components, excessive vibration, or overload can also be one of the causes of failure of casting.

In the case of large and heavy cast iron or casting components like engine blocks, turbo casings, gearboxes, forging pillars, etc. It is not necessary to replace such large, heavy cast iron and expensive components. These components, after initial inspection, can be successfully repaired.

RA Power Solutions, having experience of four decades, undertakes the repair of the following types of cracks or serious damage to casting by the metal lock and metal stitching process.

• Cast Iron Crack Repair, cast steel, and aluminium cast components, irrespective of their length and application, can be repaired by metal stitching.
• In case the casting is damaged into pieces, the damaged portion of the large cast iron components is cut, and the new casting piece is assembled again with a metal lock and a metal stitching process.

Cold Metal Stitching Cast Iron

Repair of cracks and damaged casting by the cold process of metal stitching & metal locking is the most successful way of repair. The metal stitching and metal locking process of crack repair does not develop heat, as it is a cold process. No alignment or profile is lost, hence in most cases there is no requirement for machining.

We are the leaders and specialize in executing the repair of cracks and repair of damage to casting of any size by metal lock or metal stitching. With our experience, we have learnt that crack repair by welding does not guarantee successful repair in most cases, and it needs correction of the profile in most cases due to loss of alignment.

RA Power Solutions has been serving large diesel power plants, heavy industries, and shipping companies, and has successfully executed thousands of jobs using by metal lock process, which has been damaged. The possibility of repair of damage in casting or repair in casting onsite makes metal lock and metal stitching the most popular technique.

We have a team of experienced technicians who have a record of successfully executing crack repairs. All the technicians are factory-trained and hold valid CDC. They can fly to any part of the world, whether the assignment is on land or in high sea. With the help of portable, lightweight, pneumatic tools and metal lock keys and locks, the repairs are executed in a short duration.

It is also observed that due to the failure of any component, the threads also get damaged. The damaged threads are repaired by rethreading, recoiling, and with the combination of metal stitching and metal lock. This process of thread repair has been followed again by us at different sites all over the world, and it has proved to be of great success in saving the parts.

The repair of cracks in casting or damaged components by metal lock and metal stitching is guaranteed for satisfactory performance by RA Power Solutions. The cost of crack repair undertaken is negligible in comparison to the replacement cost with the new component, apart from the difficulties involved in procurement dispatch assembly of the new component.

For all your requirements of crack repair in heavy equipment, contact us for an initial inspection and suggestions for successful salvaging of damaged components.
