The Challenge: Restoring a Damaged Dredger Hydraulic Rod
A client approached us with a critical issue: an 8-meter-long dredger hydraulic rod damaged by welding sparks. The rod, vital to the dredger’s operations, required urgent on-site repair to minimize downtime. The stakes were high, but our team was ready to deliver a solution that would restore both functionality and durability.
Our Solution: Precision Brush Plating On-Site
Our proprietary Brush Plating process was the perfect fit for this complex repair. Here is how we brought the hydraulic rod back to life:
1. Initial Assessment: We began by testing the adhesion of the rod’s Ceramax Engineered Coating, which is electrically non-conductive. A small-scale copper plating test confirmed a strong foundation for the repair.
2. Surface Preparation: The damaged area was carefully widened but not deepened to ensure a smooth base for restoration, maintaining the rod’s structural integrity.
3. Copper Plating Application: Using our Brush Plating technology, we applied copper to rebuild the damaged areas, restoring the rod to its original dimensions with exceptional bonding strength.
4. Seamless Blending: The plated surface was expertly blended to match the surrounding area, ensuring a uniform finish and optimal performance.
5. Final Inspection: Rigorous dimensional and alignment checks verified that the rod met its original specifications.
6. Polished Finish: A nickel capping layer was applied, enhancing durability and giving the rod a pristine, like-new appearance.
