Regarding laser cladding technology
Thread Content
The shaft journals of the bearing shells in a BB5 multi-stage pump have developed grooves; is it feasible to carry out on-site repair using laser cladding without removing the pump first? 80mm in diameter!
It needs to be removed and welded, because after laser cladding welding, machining is still required; after machining, the shaft’s runout must be checked to see if there is any deformation.
It would be great if machining could be done on-site, like with a lathe similar to a magnetic drill!
After cladding, it is then processed to the appropriate size; this is difficult to achieve without removal online
