The repair and improvement of bearing and packing journals is a specialised application of Avweld's skills and unique technical capacity in advanced thermal spray processes. Complemented by machining, grinding, and superfinishing as required, Avweld achieves the exact surface finish and wear resistance each application demands. Over many years, Avweld has repaired literally thousands of shafts of every size possible.

• Careful material and surface finish selection — maximises component life while also enhancing the life of packing materials
• Significantly improved equipment efficiency — wear of packing journals is reduced to such low levels that equipment efficiency is enhanced significantly
• 3 to 4 times extended reliability — reliability extends to 3 or 4 times the unprotected life of the unit
• Extreme corrosion resistance — with elevated operating temperatures presenting no issues
• Cold-spray repair process — shafts are repaired using cold-spray processes, resulting in absolutely no distortion or substrate metallographic change
• Long-term performance assurance — because there is no distortion or metallographic change, shaft performance is assured not to decline over time
• Fully in-house process — quality and quick turnaround of critical components is assured, with all work completed in-house

Avweld's shaft repair service is suited to:

• Repair and improvement of bearing and packing journals of any size
• Applications requiring wear resistance without distortion or metallurgical change to the shaft substrate
• Equipment operating at elevated temperatures where corrosion resistance is critical
• Critical components requiring fast, reliable in-house turnaround
