3.   Advanced Repair Technology Division:

We provide state-of-the art machine component repair services at our workshop and at our clients plant sites. The applications of this technology include salvage and repair of worn machine components using electrochemical deposition of selected metals and alloys under microprocessor control with unmatched quality and economy. The thickness of the added deposit can vary from a small fraction of a micron to several millimeters. Contrary to other metal rebuilding techniques such as welding, metal spray (including plasma), and Chrome plating, our technology does not produce any thermal or residual stresses in the component being repaired; and does not affect the metallurgical structure of the base metal. Adhesion of our deposits to the base metal is excellent (comparable to welding), and does not separate from the base metal.

Thousands of components & parts can be restored at a small fraction of the price of new original components. Numerous Industrial, Governmental, Military, Aviation, Aerospace, and independent standard testing organizations and associations approve the process we are using. Repairs are guaranteed to equal or exceed the original component, and we provide one year limited guarantee on all repairs. In fact, we repaired many components that are now working for several years to the complete satisfaction of our customers. Our service engineers and technicians are trained and certified.

Application examples include:

- Enhancing hardness, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, and surface properties.

   · Repair of shafts of pumps, compressors, turbines, electric motors, generators, etc.; repair of wear and restoration of print dimensions (of original component) at bearing fitting locations, seal areas, journals, impeller fitting areas etc.

    · Repair of worn Bearing housings (inner surfaces).

    · Rebuild of white metal bearings / babbit bearings.

    · Repair of scratches and dents of hydraulic pistons, and hard chrome plated parts on site and without removing the component from the machine (without disassembly).

   · Gearboxes: Repair of worn areas on shafts, gear fitting areas, as well as bearing housings.

   · Repair of worn commutators and slip rings in electric motors and generators and adding a protection layer to prevent future damage and increase life of commutators and brushes.

    · Repair of silver coated contact areas in electric contactors.

    · Repair / restoration of crankshaft (both crank pins and main journals).

    · Repair of worn journals of cam shafts, valves, and fuel injectors.

    · Repair of wear areas in Valves (seats and stems).

    · Rebuild of worn key ways.

    · Repair of scratches and dents in flanges, and assembly areas.
