| Extended Down Time Averted By Using Belzona | | | Industry:General Industry (GIND) | | | Application:Mechanical Power Transmission (MPT) | | | Customer Location:Steel manufacturer in Alabama, USA | | | Application Date:1995 | | | Application Situation:Shaft spline used as the main transmission of power to the mandril mill. | | | Problem:Excess tolerances in the spline caused problems with the smooth trans-mission of force to the mandril for pipe manufacture. | | | Products:Belzona® 1121 (Super XL-Metal) | | | Substrate:Steel | | | Application Method:The application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflet MPT-5. Belzona® 9411 (Release Agent) was applied to the gear, and Belzona® 1121 (Super XL-Metal) was liberally applied to the spline and gear before mating. | | | Belzona Facts:These large splines would have had to be custom fabricated, which would exceed the normal shutdown time frame. The Belzona application took place in the steel mill’s machine shop. | | | Photographs Description
