About
A critical manufacturer in the mining industry approached us with an urgent need to remanufacture their Hydraulic Cylinder Rods. The rods play a vital role in underground mining drill rigs, and without them, production is halted, leading to potential revenue loss. Time was of the essence. They required a fast turnaround to resume production as soon as possible.
Challenge
Our challenge was two-fold: to find a solution that met the client’s stringent quality requirements and to ensure a rapid turnaround time.
The Hydraulic Cylinder Rods operate in harsh underground mining conditions, so the coating needed to be highly durable and resistant to corrosion. Additionally, the client needed the rods back in their possession quickly to avoid significant production downtime.
Our Solution
Following a comprehensive review, we identified the most effective approach: the application of a 420 stainless steel coating.
The high carbon content of the 420 stainless steel results in a surface with strong resistance to corrosion. Moreover, this coating enhances the durability of the metal components, promoting longevity and reducing maintenance needs.
Results
By leveraging our extensive experience and streamlined processes, we promptly delivered the remanufactured Hydraulic Cylinder Rods to our client. This swift response facilitated the resumption of their operations, mitigating financial impact.
In summary, the application of the 420 Stainless Steel Thermal Spray Coating ensured the metal parts longevity and performance against the harsh mining environment.
By meeting our client’s expectations, we not only addressed their immediate requirements but also solidified the groundwork for future cooperation.
