Water Box Channel<br />

<strong>Repair</strong><br />

Titanium Putty<br />

Problem:<br />

These water box channels would receive extreme corrosive wear from processing salt water. The wear<br />

was so sever that the channel boxes required immediate replacement. Due to equipment age,<br />

replacement parts were no longer available.<br />

Solution:<br />

Complete repair areas were s<strong>and</strong>blasted to a SSPC-SP5 white metal finish. Surfaces were chemically<br />

cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. Titanium was applied up to 65 mils over original specification or<br />

dimension. Following a 6 hour cure of Titanium Putty, the channel was machined back to within<br />

original specifications or dimension. Minor imperfections were repaired using Titanium Putty, then remachined<br />

following a 4 hour cure.
