Repair & Dimensional Restoration
It’s a fact that equipment and parts in every industry are subjected to abrasive wear and/or corrosive and erosive wear. This often leaves maintenance personnel with two options:
- Replace the part with a newly manufactured item
- Apply a coating to restore the part to original plan dimension
The affected components can usually be repaired for less than half the cost of a new part. Additionally, coating repairs can be completed in a matter of hours or days which reduces downtime when compared to waiting weeks or months for replacement parts.
A&A Coatings | Repair & Dimensional Restoration
A&A Coatings is a unique plant devoted exclusively to the application of metal, ceramic, cermet and hard faced coatings. Decades of experience with these processes led to the development of coatings for repair and dimensional restoration. Here’s a look at our repair procedure:
- Lathe/Grinder: Turn down dimension to be repaired
- Mask: Areas which do not require coating are masked for protection
- Grit blast: Abrasive grit blast to roughen coating surface for ideal coating bond
- Coat: Apply chosen material to desired thickness
- Lathe/Grinder: Machine or grind to required finish dimension and surface finish
