贝尔佐纳使用效果
The rebuild of cavitation damages by conventional welding and remachining were considered as too time consuming and required special skills to restore significant metal losses. The Belzona repair, in spite of being sacrificial, was chosen as more cost effective and time saving. After 1 year minor damage, mainly mechanical was found and locally repaired with further Belzona using an MBX Bristle Blaster for surface preparation.
