Exhauster Fan <strong>Repair</strong><br />

Titanium Putty / Brushable Ceramic<br />

6/1/90<br />

Pennsylvania Power <strong>and</strong> Light<br />

Utility Power Generation<br />

Problem:<br />

This exhauster fan would receive extreme corrosive <strong>and</strong> abrasive wear at the bore or inlet from a<br />

combination of fly ash, flume steam <strong>and</strong> sulfuric acid. The wear was so severe that a new ring needed to<br />

be fabricated, welded into position, <strong>and</strong> then machine to specification.<br />

Solution:<br />

The complete bore or inlet area was s<strong>and</strong>blasted to a SSPC-SP5 white metal finish. The surface area was<br />

chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. Titanium Putty was applied to all eroded areas greater than<br />

1/8” deep. Following a partial cure of Titanium Putty, (2 hours), Brushable Ceramic was applied to a<br />

thickness of 25 mils. Following a partial cure of Brushable Ceramic, (4 hours), a second coat was applied,<br />

again to a thickness of 25”mils. Brushable Ceramic encapsulated repair areas <strong>and</strong> provided a long lasting,<br />

abrasion <strong>and</strong> corrosion resistant, protective surface coating.
