The Solution
For this Bronze Impeller Refurbishment: the surface of the impeller was blast cleaned to a minimum of NACE Grade 2. One coat of RESIMAC 204 HD – a reinforced repair – was used to give excellent abrasion resistance. RESIMAC 204 HD is simple and safe to use and designed for areas subjected to cavitation and impact damage.
Two coats of RESIMETAL 202 Ceramic Repair Fluid were then applied to give extra protection and a smooth finish to the impeller.
This system offers excellent abrasion and erosion properties, even under the most aggressive operating conditions.
The customer was very pleased to have a quick, efficient solution that lasted 5 years until plant shut down.
