Restoring Performance: How Sterling Impreglon Asia Revived a Damaged Hydraulic Rod

When critical mechanical components break down, operational efficiency suffers. This was the case when one of Singapore's largest engineering and MRO companies reached out to Sterling Impreglon Asia for an urgent repair on a badly damaged hydraulic rod plagued by corrosion pitting. The damage rendered the rod inoperable, but thanks to our proprietary Brush Plating Process, we brought it back to life—better than ever.

Step-by-Step: The Repair Journey

1. Assessment and Preparation
   The damaged areas were first ground open with precision to remove the corroded material and prepare the surface for plating.
2. Careful Masking
   Using Polyethylene (P.E.) sheets, we meticulously masked the hydraulic rod to prevent chemical leakage during the brush plating process.
3. Cleaning and Pre-Plating
   Dirt and impurities were scrubbed and rinsed away, ensuring a pristine surface for plating. We then conducted a pre-plating process to ensure a strong bond for the copper buildup.
4. Copper Build-Up Process
   Our team applied our proprietary Brush Copper Plating to restore the rod to its original dimensions, layer by layer.
5. Finishing Touches
   Using a belt sander, we blended and smoothed the plated areas to match the surrounding surface seamlessly. Finally, a Nickel Capping was added for durability and aesthetics, making the rod look as good as new.
6. Quality Assurance
   A final dimensional check ensured the repaired rod met our customer’s stringent specifications.

Results That Speak for Themselves

This entire process was completed in just over a week, minimizing downtime for our customer. The restored hydraulic rod now operates at peak efficiency, and our customer was extremely delighted with the results.
