Metal Stitching | Metal Locking | Metal Surgery

On site Metal stitching and metal locking is a precise mechanical method of making permanent repairs to broken casting and machine parts.

Procedure of On site Metal Stitching and Metal Locking


Drilling fixture is attached of right angles to the crack. A hole pattern is drilled and this is repeated at intervals from ¾ to 1 ¼ inches apart in this process of metal stitching metal locking.

Metal between each drilled hole is removed by ripping it away with pneumatic tools to form a slot. The stock thus removed is narrower than the drilled hole, thus forming a serrated opening.

Preformed locks of high tensile alloy are inserted in to the slot of metal locking and metal stitching process. These locks are peened into the slots, one on top of the other, to a depth limited by the casting thickness and determined by the strength required.

After the locks are installed, holes are drilled, tapped and threaded, fasteners are applied. These are spotted along the entire length of the crack, overlapping one another. Their purpose, in part, is to fill the fracture with new metal and provide a pressure seal.

Entire repair area is peened, flush and finish ground.

In case of the broken casting, the new casting is manufactured in accordance to the metallurgy of the parent casting. The assistance of pattern maker is taken to manufacture the casting strictly as per the profile of the damaged area.

The necessary care is taken even for aesthetic look of the new casting which fully gets merged with the old one.

Complete engine block repair is undertaken by metal locking and metal stitching process which includes following:

I) Crack Repair in Engine Block, Entablature or Repair of Broken Casting by metal locking and metal stiching.
II) Checking of main journal housings and correction by metal stitching and metal locking process.
III) Repair of damaged threads by metal stitching/metal locking and use of helicoil.

Tri metal Bearing | Bimetal Bearings | White Metal Bearings | Engine Bearings Manufacturer

RA Power Solutions understands the importance of   trimetal and bimetal engine bearings   for the main, auxiliary and the various makes and models of the engine in operation for different applications . RA Power Solutions undertakes onsite repair of crankshafts having diameter ranging from 35 to 700 mm for last four decades. Every time the crankshaft is repaired, there is a requirement of undersize bearing. It is our experience that in most of the cases the undersize bearings are not available with the engine manufacturer resulting to the delay in assembly and reconditioning of the engine. The major problem lies with the engines which are old and are no longer manufactured by the companies. In this time of recession , it is not possible for the client to replace the engine with the new one. The cost of bearings offered is also exorbitant. RA Power Solutions plays a very important role as most of the undersize non standard bearing of different make and model of the engines are ...
