Metal Crack Repair: MS Method for Repairing Cracks and Fractures in Machinery Equipment

We will repair the cracks that have occurred in the metal without applying any heat. This is a crack repair that does not involve heat. It is a crack repair that does not cause any thermal distortion.

The "MS Method (Mechanical Stitch)" is a groundbreaking repair technique (Mechanical Stitching Method) that addresses metal cracks using mechanical methods. Since it does not apply any heat, there is no "thermal distortion." It prevents residual stress from occurring in other areas and also prevents secondary damage such as new cracks. Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. In general welding repair methods, the base material around the crack changes due to heat, leading to residual stress and distortion, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." **Features of the MS Method** - No hardening or residual stress due to heat - Elimination of secondary damage - Maintenance of stable quality → Integrated system repairs using jigs, etc. → Accumulation of know-how, experience, and achievements - Completion of construction in a short period → Does not significantly reduce the operating rate of equipment - Advantages in safety and environmental aspects → Since no fire is used, there is no impact on the operating rate of other equipment or the environment For more details, please contact us.

Are you having trouble with the delivery date for your cast metal prototypes? "Casting Prototype Service!" for cast iron, aluminum castings, and stainless steel castings (lost wax casting)!

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to produce prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly creating sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be modeled at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.
