Metal Lock Metal Stitching | Metal Stitching Cast Iron | Crack Repair | Engine Block Repair

Crack in cast iron components or damage of casting now can be easily repaired by metal lock and metal stitching process. The crack repair technology by metal lock and metal stitching process has outdated the old conventional method of crack repair by welding. It is said that crack repair by metal stitching and metal locking process is perhaps the only method to repair cracks in cast iron and to save the large, expensive components from rejection. In some cases, it is observed that the parts get more damaged by the welding process, resulting in the ultimate rejection and heavy financial losses.

Crankshaft Repair | Grinding of Crankshaft | Crankshaft Machining – RA Power Solutions

RA Power Solutions have been working on high-capacity diesel engine overhaul, repair, and maintenance and grinding of crankshaft for the last 44 years. During our work on engines on board a vessel or in large engineering plants, we have observed that the incidents of crankshafts getting damaged due to accidents are getting very often.

As we are aware that the crankshaft is the heart of the engine by means of connecting rod the crankshaft converts reciprocating motion to the liner movement which drives the engine. RA Power Solutions have the process, technology, and onsite crankshaft grinding machines ranging from 35 mm to 700 mm and crankshaft repair is now possible without disassembly of the crankshaft from the engine. The repair of the crankshaft is possible irrespective of its length and weight as we have the equipment available up to 700 mm in terms of diameter.

The crankshaft in general has various applications including diesel generating sets and marine engines typical areas of crankshaft applications are as follows:

Compressors
Railway vehicles/engines
Power generators
Forging hammers
Pumps
Marine engines, etc.

The crankshaft of high-capacity engines used for marine and land-based applications are of forged steel. RA Power Solutions has experienced technicians, and advanced technology equipment i.e. in situ crankshaft grinding machine to maintain the dimensions and tolerances strictly as per the manufacturer’s specifications and recommendations. Major parameters maintained after crankshaft grinding and repair and grinding of crankshaft are as follows:

Taper and ovality can be maintained within 0.02/0.03 mm or less as per the requirement of the engine manufacturer.
The portable in situ crankshaft grinding machine used by RA Power Solutions technicians is capable of maintaining a surface finish of far less than 0.03 RA value.
The high surface finish value after grinding of crankpin and main journal diameter of the crankshaft enhances the life of connecting rod and main bearings considerably.

Inspection of Crankpin Before Repair & Grinding

The radius profile of both the end of the crankpin or main journal and the lubricating oil profile is maintained strictly as per the original profile.
The straightness/runout of the crankshaft is checked, and the crankshaft is straightened if required by the peening process.
Counterweight can be replaced in case of damage and supporting threads are repaired onsite.

Crankshaft Reconditioning | Crankshaft Grinding Machine Exporter – RA Power Solutions

RA Power Solutions undertakes the repair of crankshafts having a diameter ranging from 35 mm to 700 mm. The concept of removing the crankshaft and sending it to the workshop for repair is now no longer valid, and the user gets the crankshaft repaired onsite.

During our working of more than forty years on marine main, crankshaft reconditioning, auxiliary engines, and high capacity diesel generating sets installed in industry, power plants, etc., we have observed that while the maintenance schedule stipulated by the engine manufacturer in the maintenance manual is religiously followed, but no attention is paid on the crankshaft’s condition.

Even during the maintenance schedule of 25,000 to 30,000 hours of operation, maintenance agencies and officials connected with the day-to-day upkeep of the engine ignore the inspection of the crankshaft till the seizure of bearing or any other major breakdown happens in the crankshaft.

**Repair of Crankpin on Board a Vessel**

We have experienced that irrespective of the metallurgy of the crankshaft and level of hardness after continuous operation of engine taper and ovality of the crankshaft, crankpin, and main journal are developed. The bearing surface becomes rough and in some cases bearing line marks, pitting, etc. is developed. Due to these abnormalities developed in the crankshaft, failure of bearing and crankshaft takes place. RA Power Solutions recommends that inspection procedures should be followed in order to ensure satisfactory performance of the crankshaft and to save it from rejection.

During the periodic maintenance schedule, the crankpins and main journals of the crankshaft should be checked for the development of taper and ovality.
The dimensions of the crankpin, taper, and ovality should be well within the limits specified by the manufacturers. There should not be any presence of bearing line marks or pitting on the crankpin journals.
The profile of the lubricating oil hole and radius fillet should be checked visually. There should not be any loss of the original profile.
The hardness test and the crack detection test by MPI or dye penetrant are not required till the major failure of the bearing or accident takes place.

Inspection of Crankpin on Board a Vessel

Checking of deflection of the crankshaft.
Positioning of crankshaft balancing weights. They should be tightened on specific torque as per the manual.

In case the above preventive inspection is undertaken on-site without disassembly of the crankshaft, the user can avoid any major damage to the crankshaft.

Onsite Machining of crankpins and main journals has been made simple in this era of technological renovation. The concept of removing the crankshaft and getting the crankshaft machined in the workshop is no longer valid. The onsite crankshaft machining is undertaken to maintain strictly all the tolerances as specified by the manufacturer and stipulated in the maintenance manual.

Crankshaft machining is no longer the monopoly of a bunch of companies based in Europe and the UK. The availability of a portable, easy-to-operate crankshaft grinding machine it has made simple and easy to undertake the polishing and grinding of the main journal if required.

RA Power Solutions is a reputable and leading crankshaft grinding machine exporter and crankshaft reconditioning, known for its high-quality products and exceptional services. With a strong commitment to customer satisfaction, RA Power Solutions has gained a stellar reputation in the industry. Our state-of-the-art crankshaft grinding machines are designed to precision grind and polish crankshafts, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of engines.
