Problem:<br />

These turbine runners would receive extreme cavitation wear from the high volume flow of water.<br />

Cavitation on runners causes secondary problems such as vibration <strong>and</strong> off balancing. Runner<br />

replacement cost was estimated to be 50K.<br />

Solution:<br />

The complete repair area was first roughened using a grinder <strong>and</strong> wire wheel attachment. <strong>Repair</strong> surfaces<br />

were then chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. Ceramic <strong>Repair</strong> Putty was applied rebuilding<br />

missing eroded metal. Ceramic <strong>Repair</strong> Putty was smoothed <strong>and</strong> feathered using acetone following gel<br />

point. Following a full cure of Ceramic <strong>Repair</strong> Putty, (16 hours), Ceramic <strong>Repair</strong> Putty was s<strong>and</strong>ed to a<br />

smooth finish. <strong>Devcon</strong>’s repair cost was $400.00.
