Crack Repair in Cast Iron | Repair Cast Iron
It is important that cracks are identified using the proper technique. RA Power Solutions suggest the following tests for crack cast iron components which get damaged due to an accident.
Inspection of crack in cast iron component and equipment
- It is advisable to remove the paint and red oxide from the damaged cast iron component thoroughly.
- After cleaning, the MPI test for crack detection is recommended.
- We suggest the use of a high intensity magna flux torch which can identify and locate even the minutest hairline crack in the damaged cast iron component.
- Since, RA Power Solutions is involved in Crack Repair in Cast Iron, cast steel and Aluminium components, it is recommended that crack detection test by MPI process is conducted by qualified level 2 technicians.
- Crack detection test in cast iron is also conducted by using a commercial dye-penetrant.
- Dye penetrant test can be undertaken only in the case MPI equipment and qualified technicians are not available.
