RA Power Solutions has executed successfully more than 600 jobs for the repair of housings that are damaged due to the development of cracks or casting broken into pieces. The advantage of metal locking and metal stitching is that in case a large area of casting is damaged, a new piece having similar metallurgical properties is cast and metal stitched on the parent body of the casting.
