Product Details:

Metal stitching is a precise mechanical method of making permanent repairs to broken casting and machine parts.

No heat is used in metal stitching process, thus no stresses are introduced and no post-repair machining is necessary to correct misalignment and warpage. Since there is no heat, metal locking repairs can be made in restricted areas where flames or welding arc is prohibited Repairs are done on location in the plant, without the necessity of major dis-assembly.

It is observed that threads on crankshaft for counter weight mounting get damage due to accidents. It is important that the threads are repaired and counter weights are mounted. The process of repair of damage threads by oversizing them is not right as it may cause disbalance of the crankshaft. RA Power Solutions has technology and process by which we undertake metal stitching and metal locking of damaged threads and put the insearts of the same pitch and specification, by this process of crankshaft threads repair there is no change in the weight of the crankshaft and there is no chance of disbalancing of the crankshaft.

Broken heavy parts or cracks in bronze, aluminium, cast iron and cast steel can be repaired by metal stitching and metal locking process. Stop getting the cracks repaired in heavy Engineering  components by welding process which generates high temperature, stress and sometimes leads to loss of alignment which is important in case of compressors, gear boxes, engines, turbocharger casing etc.

RA Power Solutions extends repair of crack and repair of heavy broken casting equipment by metal lock and metal stitching . These services are extended onsite all over the world.

 RA Power Solutions was approached by a company advising about the damage of Gearbox base manufactured out of cast Iron. This Gearbox is used for the main engine to Propeller shaft. The base was broken into pieces. 

 
The details of damage observations are mentioned below.

Repair of Crack Gearbox by RA Power Solutions technicians:

 

i) RA Power Solutions deputed two technicians for undertaking inspection and metal stitching of Gearbox. 

 

ii) After removal of paint including the Red oxide the cracked area was subject to Dye penetrant inspection and also MPI by high intensity magnaflux torch to check the location,length and intensity of the cracks. 

 

iii) As mentioned above the cracks measuring 160 mm and 148 mm length were observed.

 

iv) The thickness of casting was 55 mm which made the repair by metal locking & metal stitching process more difficult. 

 

v) Our technicians executed the damage Gearbox repair successfully by using the special master locks, locks and keys.  

 

vi) For details of the process followed by our technicians to undertake the crack repair of gearbox by metal stitching please go through our blogs written in our dedicated website: https://www.metalstitchinglocking.com/
