Build-up and Repair of Shafts and Cylinders
“In-situ repairs to damaged hydraulic shaft”
Another of the services provided for from within the group is that of the chemical metallising process.
Representing Sifco of America this process enables the build-up and repairs to bearing surfaces on steel shafts, hydraulic shafts, printing cylinders etc.
As the process can be provided as an on-site service, the process enables work to be done in-situ (on location) and often without equipment having to be dismantled.
As the process enables a wide range of metals, including copper, nickel and chrome, to be deposited without heat, the problems of distortion are eliminated.
Post machining can sometimes be rendered needless as metal can be deposited within tolerances.
Thicknesses in metals of less that one (1) micron (0.00004”) can be deposited.
