Accumulator Cylinder Repair

At Sterling Impreglon Asia, we pride ourselves on delivering efficient and reliable on-site repair solutions, minimizing downtime and logistics costs for our clients. A recent repair project for an accumulator cylinder perfectly highlights the versatility and cost-saving nature of our proprietary Brush Plating process.

The Challenge:
The cylinder’s internal circumference suffered from severe pitting corrosion, impairing its operational efficiency, and rendering it non-functional. A swift and effective repair was critical to restore the component to its original condition.

Our Solution – Step-by-Step Process:
1️⃣  Survey & Preparation
Our experienced technicians conducted a thorough survey to assess the extent of the damage and prepared the necessary tools and materials.

2️⃣  Surface Preparation
We carefully cleaned and opened up the damaged pitted areas—widening without deepening—preparing them for plating.

3️⃣  Brush Copper Plating
Using our precise Brush Plating process, we rebuilt the damaged areas to their original dimensions. This method ensures minimal material removal while achieving superior adhesion.

4️⃣  Finishing & Blending
Post-plating, our team hand-blended the repaired areas to ensure a seamless finish, perfectly even with the surrounding surface.

5️⃣  Nickel Capping
To further enhance corrosion and wear resistance, we applied a protective layer of nickel capping. The result? A durable repair that looks as good as brand new.

6️⃣  Quality Assurance
We conducted comprehensive adhesion tests and final dimensional checks to ensure the repair work met customer specifications and standards.

The Result:
✅ The cylinder was fully restored, delivering renewed efficiency.
✅ Downtime was minimized thanks to our on-site repair capabilities.
✅ The customer achieved significant savings by avoiding costly replacements.
