Metal spraying is used to reclaim spare parts in
everyday maintenance of plant and equipment.
Typically we treat; Journal Locations, Roll Faces,
Internal Housing locations, Hydraulic rams and Big
end journals on crankshafts.
Components are sprayed with harder and more wear
resistant materials than the original material without
distortion, avoiding heat stresses and damaging adjacent
finished locations.
A ‘grip’ finish is achieve by “as
sprayed” coatings for the paper processing and
converting industries. The fine textured finishes
give outstanding grip capabilities with superb wear
and abrasion resistance to items such as nip rollers,
gripper bars, drive and infeed rollers.
We have a capacity to spray and finish items 600
diameter by 4 metres long. In-house machining and
grinding facilities enable us to reclaim your component
from start to finish.

This roller is being reclaimed using 13% Chrome Streel
which is a hard wearing material offering an extended
service life. 13% Chrome steel is an open porosity coating
allowing oil penetration into the coating for self lubricating
which reduces wear.

| Turbine blade
rotor assembly pictured after post machining of
two bearing locations after metal spraying at
our Bristol works. This item was miss-machined
during manufacture and was reclaimed by spraying
13% chrome steel using the electric process saving
the client several thousand pounds. |

| A Journal on this shaft
is being built up using the electric arc sprayed
process to achieve a coating deposit of 2mm -
2.5 mm. This process re-claims a journal that
would otherwise result in the shaft being scrapped
and forcing a costly replacement. |

This will provide a much harder surface to resist
wear in service. |
