How to repair a damaged shaft?

Worn and damaged shafts are conventionally repaired using a hot process (welding/machining or hot metal spray/machining). If not carefully controlled, these conventional methods will cause residual damage to the shaft. They also require the disassembly of the machine. There are problems associated with welding and thermal spraying. Welding can create heat stresses that will tamper and distort the metal, lowering its load bearing capacity. Metal spraying can only be used to repair damage up to a few 1000s of an inch. These problems and limitations can be avoided by using a combination of polymer tehnology and proven Belzona application techniques.
