Bore welding
Bore welding, also called weld cladding
A worn bore can be reworked to original size by bushing, but if there is insuffient material to maintain the grip through interferance fitting, the bush may work loose with detremental effect. A solution to this problem is to weld clad the bore so it is under size and then line bore to finished size. This process ensures that there is no risk of anything fretting or working loose. Our bore welding machine is fully mobile and can work in any position. It can weld bores from 40mm to 700mm. Each pass of weld will lay upto 5mm of metal once machined smooth, thus reducing the bore by upto 10mm on every pass. Succesive passes can be made on top of existing passes. Our fully portable machine can work in conjunction with our line boring equipment at your site and generators can be provided to sites with insufficient power supplies.
