Royce Onsite Machining specialises in cold metal stitching, a highly effective and proven technique for repairing cracks and fractures in cast iron components, including diesel engine crankcases and other heavy-duty machinery parts. This non-invasive repair method allows us to restore structural integrity without the need for welding or complete part replacement.
Our skilled technicians can even repair cases where entire sections of the casting have broken away. Using cold metal stitching, we carefully insert metal locks or “stitches” to secure and rejoin the fractured areas. This process is performed on-site, ensuring minimal downtime and avoiding costly removals or shipping.
One of the key benefits of cold metal stitching is that the repaired sections often become stronger than the original casting, offering a long-lasting and reliable solution. The method also preserves the original metallurgy and avoids heat distortion or further stress that welding might cause.
We apply this technique across various industries where cast iron components are critical, including marine engines, industrial machinery, and power generation equipment. Our on-site repairs save time and reduce expenses by extending the service life of vital parts while maintaining safety and performance standards.
