Royce Onsite Machining specialises in cold metal stitching, an innovative and proven method for repairing cracks and fractures in cast iron components, such as diesel engine crankcases and other heavy-duty machinery parts. This non-invasive repair technique enables us to restore structural integrity without resorting to welding or complete part replacement.

Our team of skilled technicians can tackle even the most challenging repairs, including cases where significant sections of the casting have broken away. By employing cold metal stitching, we meticulously insert metal locks or “stitches” to securely rejoin the fractured areas. This process takes place on-site, ensuring minimal downtime and eliminating the need for expensive removals or shipping.

One of the standout advantages of cold metal stitching is that the repaired sections often rival, if not exceed, the strength of the original casting, providing a durable and reliable solution. This method also preserves the original metallurgy, avoiding heat distortion or additional stress that can occur with welding.

We implement this technique across a range of sectors where cast iron components are vital, including marine engines, industrial machinery, and power generation equipment. Our on-site repairs not only save time but also reduce costs by extending the lifespan of essential parts while upholding safety and performance standards.

Whether you require the removal of existing fitted blades from turbine casings or the modification of grooves to accommodate new blades, Royce Onsite Machining offers the expertise and specialised equipment necessary to execute these complex tasks with precision and reliability. Our tried-and-tested techniques guarantee accurate machining that adheres to industry standards, thereby enhancing the service life of your turbine components.
