- The challenge in the reclamation of the crack is avoiding distortion and maintaining the teeth profile, which was achieved by the special techniques used and the low heat input nature of the alloys selected. The alloy with excellent elongation adapts easily to the thermal expansion difference and stresses.
Key benefits due to successful Girth gear crack repair :
- Above case study addresses the concern of top management about reclamation of key spares rather then buying new. This approach is economical and technically superior for the society.
- The solution in terms of repair and reclamation aware society to adapt better metallurgical upgrades and innovative processes to improve the availability of the plant and machinery.
- Overall, this thereby reduces the downtime losses and operational costs resulting into absolute improvement of the bottom line for the organization.
