🔧Repair or Replace?
Why Brush Plating Still Reigns as the Smarter Solution
Not all repair methods are created equal. And Brush Plating—when understood and applied correctly—continues to outperform both replacement and other repair methods on multiple fronts.
⚙️ Let’s Break It Down: Brush Plating vs The Rest
🔁 Option 1: Replacing with New
Sure, swapping a damaged hydraulic shaft or cylinder for a new one sounds straightforward. But consider this:
High cost of new OEM parts
Lead times for sourcing and shipping
Downtime while waiting
Reinstallation, realignment, and testing
🧠 Wouldn’t it be better to restore the existing component in a fraction of the time and cost — without removing it?
Brush Plating does exactly that
💡 Option 2: Laser Cladding
Laser cladding is a high-tech, high-temperature solution that builds up metal using a laser beam. But:
It’s capital intensive and not suitable for all materials (especially thin-walled parts)
It requires disassembly and workshop setup
It induces heat distortion, often needing post-machining
It’s overkill for many common wear issues
🔩 Brush Plating, on the other hand:
Uses a cold process — no risk of heat damage
Repairs only where needed (selective plating)
Can be done on-site, even onboard ships or in hard-to-reach areas
Is cost-effective, fast, and fully portable
