Submerged Arc Welding Repair Services

Our Submerged Arc Welding service provides total re-weld solutions for large hydraulic rods and industrial rollers. Our skilled team of welding professionals ensure precise and durable welds that restore the structural integrity of your components. Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and advanced techniques, we meticulously repair and strengthen your equipment to withstand heavy loads and harsh operating conditions. Whether your components have suffered from scarring, stroke wear, or other forms of damage, our submerged arc welding process provides reliable and long-lasting results. All total rewelds completed using Submerged Arc Welding are thoroughly inspected for cracks, hardness, and chrome thickness to ensure proper specifications prior to shipment.

Typical candidates:

Worn suspension rods from heavy trucks
Other thick-walled, heavy rods and rolls with extensive wear
Parts currently coated with HVOF

The most cost-effective solution on the market:

Our submerged arc welding repair costs only 20-30% of what OEM remanufacture programs charge, and 50-60% of what thermal spray coaters charge.
Once the rod has been repaired and plated, it can usually be repaired with our standard re-chrome process up to 3 times before needing submerged arc welding repair again.

How it Works

1. Remove the Damaged External Layer

We use heavy tooling, lathes, and cylindrical grinders to remove the outer layer, as well as any deeper layers that contain further damage and scarring.

2. Submerged Arc Welding

Our experienced welding team uses a submerged arc welding system to weld the part to a larger size than specification, using various wire and flux combinations for different parts. During the process, special measures are taken to control the temperatures of the part to ensure optimal bonding and maintain integrity of the base metal.

3. Remove the excess weld layer

Our team cuts down the extra weld layer and brings the part to just below its size specification, preparing it to enter the normal chrome plating process.
