Discover how we helped our client achieve their goals
Situation
Task at Hand
To pick a process and materials that does not damage the busing fit locations and increases the mechanical strength of the pin flange end.
Action Plan
New end pre-machined out of high strength yield material and to pick a welding process/post-weld heat treat process that will not damage mechanical properties of the parent material.
Results
Pin flange end was restored to original manufacturer dimensions and the parent material hardness was not changed during our repair process. We saved the client 25-30% of the cost of a brand-new unit.
Environmental Impact
Saved 480 pounds of raw material from going to land fill. Used 7 pounds of virgin material instead of 480 pounds of new material.
