<\/div>

Marine<\/a> engineers can all agree, when the ship is in port, repairs need to begin immediately. Whether it is a damaged pump, bearing housing, propeller shaft, rotor journal, steam joint, or hatch cover, the repair traditionally needs to be completed while the ship is still in port. That limited amount of time forces the maintenance crew to prioritize what repairs they can complete now, and which ones can wait \u2013 posing potentially hazardous circumstances to the ship once it goes back out to sea.<\/p>\n

Traditional repairs of various components of the engine room and propulsion systems include tank plating, thermal spray, welding, machining, and industrial paints. Unfortunately, most of these applications require disassembly, transportation to a nearby job shop, and the possibility for significant masking \u2013 all contributing to a potentially lengthy downtime.<\/p>\n

This is not the case with selective plating. Rather than shipping the parts to the process, the process can be brought right to the parts. While selective plating can be applied in a dedicated workshop \u2013 or even as an automated process \u2013 its main benefit is that it is a truly portable repair service.<\/p>\n

\"Portable<\/a><\/div>\n

Selective plating<\/a> is an electroplating method used to enhance, repair, and refurbish localized areas on manufactured components. The SIFCO Process\u00ae is the leading portable method of selective plating localized areas without the use of an immersion tank. It is primarily used for enhancing OEM components, permanent repairs, or salvaging worn and mis-machined parts.<\/p>\n

Unlike the relatively complex processes of tank plating and thermal spray, only four core elements are required to for selective plating: a power pack, plating tools, plating solutions and a trained operator. It can be carried in port, or on board, and even be applied in situ.<\/p>\n

The process is also easy to learn. With proper training shipboard engineers can take on the role themselves, adding value to the shipyard\u2019s already extensive repair services.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s marine market, efficiency and speed are critical. If selective plating has not yet been in your ships repair log, it may be high tide to look into it.
