Rotorshaft Repairs

Rotorshafts and their component parts such as bearing journals, pump spigots and seal areas can be restored by thermal spraying.

This process involves atomizing pure or alloyed metal with compressed air into a fine spray for coating on the original surface, giving a coating that is more resistant to friction, abrasion and corrosion.

The seal area for the compressor wheel is then roughened by microblasting to hold the compressor wheel in position. Worn rotorshaft bearing journals can also be repaired to minimize shaft distortion.
