Metal Stitching | Metal Locking | Repair of Cast Iron by Metal Stitching – RA Power Solutions

When cast-iron or aluminum engine blocks crack, the traditional fix—welding—is often expensive, risky, and destructive. At RA Power Solutions, we specialize in advanced cold repair techniques—metal stitching and metal locking—that restore structural strength without applying heat, requiring machining, or dismantling equipment.

With the improvement in repair technology now, it is possible to repair the crack in cast iron, steel, or aluminium component by metal stitching and metal locking process. The main feature of repair of crack or damaged casting by metal stitching, metal locking, and metal surgery is that process does not require disassembly of the equipment and taking the crack or damaged part to the workshop.

What Are Metal Stitching & Locking?

  • Metal Stitching is a precise, cold repair method. Technicians drill a series of aligned holes across the crack, insert metal “keys” or studs into a dovetailed pattern, and tighten them so they interlock—effectively sealing the fracture and restoring rigidity.
  • Metal Locking reinforces the stitching with custom-shaped metal inserts that prevent the crack from spreading further and enhance the repair’s long-term durability

Metal Stitching of Engine Block by Special Keys & Locks
Metal Stitching of Engine Block by Special Keys & Locks

FAQs:

1. What are metal stitching and metal locking?

Metal stitching involves drilling a series of aligned holes across a crack, inserting interlocking metal keys or studs, and tightening them to seal the fracture. Metal locking uses custom-shaped inserts that reinforce and prevent crack propagation.

2. Do these methods require dismantling the equipment?

No. We perform the repairs in situ, without disassembling the machinery or removing the damaged part from its position

3. Will the original surface or shape be affected by the repair?

We maintain the original profile after metal stitching and locking, and in most cases, no machining is needed afterward

4. Is the repaired area as strong as the original component?

Yes. Scientific studies show that crack areas repaired by metal stitching and locking often have greater tensile strength than before

5. Can repairs be performed while the vessel is underway?

Absolutely. We can execute repairs while the vessel is sailing, minimizing downtime and logistical challenges

Why Reconditioning Matters

Connecting rods face immense stresses—from piston movement and combustion forces to high RPMs. Over time, this leads to:

  • Taper and ovality in both big and small end bores
  • Misalignment and bent structures
  • Fatigue damage to serrations, bolts, or bushes

We do not recommend repairing a connecting rod if we find any loss of alignment or cracks. RA Power Solutions guarantees the satisfactory performance of every connecting rod we repair. We issue a calibration certificate for each connecting rod after repair.
