Upgradation of Castings
Upgradation of Castings involves improving the quality and performance of metal cast components through inspection, repair, and heat treatment processes.
Understand Upgradation of Castings
Upgradation of Castings
IRICO has full-fledged facilities and qualified welders for up-gradation of carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel castings. Radiographs will be evaluated to the required standards immediately and repairs / up-gradation will be undertaken. Pre heating of casting are done as per the specification using per heating furnaces. If required the casting are send for STRESS RELEVING in the furnance available with us.
IRICO has been already carrying out Radiography and up-gradation work for a few giant organizations like M/s. Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, M/s AUDCO India Limited, Units at Manapakkam, Kanchipuram and Maraimalainagar, M/s. The KCP Limited, M/s. Peekay Steel Castings Limited, M/s. Sanamar Alloy Castings Limited, Viralimalai, M/s. Aruna Machine Tools Limited etc. to the entire satisfaction of the Inspectors and Clients.
Where It Is Used
This inspection method is ideal for identifying defects in:
Foundries and Casting Industries
Ensuring casting quality by detecting defects and enhancing overall material performance.
Heavy Engineering Companies
Maintaining strength and reliability of large-scale components used in critical operations.
Power and Infrastructure Sectors
Supporting long-term durability and safety of essential systems and structural assets.
Inspection Process
The process follows a systematic approach to restore, repair, and enhance the quality of
cast components as per required standards.
Initial Inspection
Evaluating castings through NDT methods to identify defects and areas requiring repair.
Defect Identification
Marking and analyzing defects such as cracks, porosity, or inclusions for corrective action.
Preheating Process
Heating the casting as per specifications to prepare it for safe and effective repair.
Welding & Repair
Performing controlled welding and repair techniques to eliminate defects.
Stress Relieving
Applying heat treatment to remove internal stresses and improve structural stability.
Final Inspection & Quality Check
Re-evaluating the casting to ensure it meets required standards and performance criteria.
