Brush Plating vs. Traditional Repair: A Side-by-Side Comparison
Why Brush Plating SHOULD be the Preferred Choice?
In industries where heavy equipment, marine machineries, and oilfield tools keep operations running,
reliability is everything. When critical components such as shafts, cylinders, gearboxes, or engine parts become worn or damaged, companies face a tough decision: repair, replace, or restore.
At Sterling Impreglon Asia, we specialize in Brush Plating, a repair method that is increasingly recognized as a smarter, faster, and more cost-effective alternative to many traditional repair methods. Let’s break it down.
1. Downtime & Logistics
Traditional Repair:
- Often requires dismantling large components.
- Shipping to workshops causes delays.
- Weeks of downtime are not uncommon.
Brush Plating:
- Portable and done on-site without dismantling.
- Repairs completed in hours or days, not weeks.
- Keeps operations running with minimal interruption.
2. Precision & Quality
Traditional Repair:
- Methods like welding or machining may remove more base material.
- Risk of heat distortion affecting tolerances.
Brush Plating:
- Builds up damaged areas layer by layer with micron-level accuracy.
- No heat involved—so no risk of distortion.
- Restores components to original dimensions.
3. Cost Efficiency
