Tests and experience show that metal stitching repairs can strengthen cracked castings. The repaired section often becomes even more durable after the process. We execute crack repairs on board the vessel, in power plants all over the world.

Why Choose Cold Repair Over Welding?

Traditional welding uses heat to damage alignment, change grain structure, and weaken cast iron components. Cold repair procedures such as metal stitching and locking maintain the original material integrity. This results in stress-free, distortion-free, and high-strength solutions.

What Is Metal Stitching & Metal Locking?

Metal stitching is a cold bolt-locking process that includes drilling precise holes along a crack and inserting metal “keys” and studs into a dovetailed pattern. These studs bite into one another, tightening the crack and restoring structural rigidity.
Metal locking supports stitched joints with custom-shaped metal inserts, inhibiting additional proliferation and boosting long-term endurance.

We extend metal stitching services all over the world, including countries like Madagascar, Oman, Qatar, Philippines, Bahrain, Srilanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Turkey, Nigeria, Greece, Saudi Arabia, UK, Dubai, Singapore, Malta, and Cyprus, etc.

FAQs:

1. What is metal stitching in cast iron repair?

Metal stitching is a cold repair process used to restore cracked or damaged cast iron components. It involves inserting special metal keys and locking pins across the crack to mechanically join and seal it—without using heat or welding.

2. How is metal locking different from metal stitching?

While both methods are used together, metal locking adds reinforcement by embedding strong metal locks or inserts that cross the crack. These locks increase structural integrity and prevent further crack propagation.

3. Why is metal stitching better than welding for cast iron?

Welding applies heat that can distort the casting and cause new cracks due to thermal stress. In contrast, metal stitching is a cold process, meaning there’s no heat, no distortion, and the original metallurgical properties remain intact.

Experts highly recommend metal stitching and metal locking for repairing cracks in cast iron. Industries around the world use this cold repair technique because it delivers reliable and effective results when restoring cast iron components. Broken cast iron pieces can also be replaced by a new piece of casting undertaking metal locking. This technology is … Continue reading “Cast Iron Crack Repair with Metal Stitching & Metal Locking”

Connecting Rod Reconditioning – RA Power Solutions

Engines are the most important parts of heavy-duty industrial machinery, ships, and power plants. The connecting rod is one of the most important parts of an engine. It is very important for moving the combustion force from the piston to the crankshaft. Over time, these rods are put under a lot of stress, fatigue, and heat, which causes them to wear out and possibly break.

FAQs:

1. What is the connecting rod?

A connecting rod, sometimes known as a ‘con rod’, is a piston engine component that joins the piston to the crankshaft. The connecting rod, along with the crank, turns the piston’s reciprocating action into the rotation of the crankshaft.

2. What type of connecting rod is used in auxiliary engine?

The most frequent type of connecting rod used in the ship’s auxiliary engine is the oblique or cross-cut connecting rod, which is composed of two pieces.

3. How are connecting rods made?

The rods are made of drop-forged, heat-treated steel, which provides the necessary strength. Each rod end is drilled, with the smaller top bore connecting to the piston pin (wrist pin) in the piston. The rod’s big bore end is split in half and bolted so that it can be linked to the crankshaft.
