ABOUT METAL STITCHING
WHAT IS A METAL STITCHING?
This is a cold repairing process for repair of cracked, broken & blown off casting. This is an unique process for repair of Cast Iron, Cast Steel & Cast Aluminum machineries & equipment. It holds strongly even where welding fails.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES?
  • The job is undertaken at site & situ condition.
  • Dismantling is not required normally.
  • The repair being completely cold does not require any application of heat thereby avoiding thermal stress & grain structure of the parent material remain unchanged even after repair.
  • Inherent stress in the casting are relieved.
  • The process permits 100 percent Leak Free repair of crack in pressure parts.
  • The process of repairing will save the time & cost of re-casting.
