What Happens If You Don’t Repair This?

In industrial operations, small surface damage is often overlooked—until it becomes a big, expensive problem. Whether it is a scored hydraulic rod, a corroded shaft, or a pitted bearing seat, leaving wear and tear unaddressed can lead to equipment breakdowns, unexpected downtime, and massive repair costs.

At Sterling Impreglon Asia, we have seen it many times:
What starts as minor wear turns into a major failure—all because action was not taken early enough.

🔍 The Slippery Slope of Ignoring Damage

Here is what can happen when surface damage is left unchecked:

🔧 Stage 1: Minor Wear or Scoring
– Caused by seal failure, contamination, or abrasion.
– Often dismissed as “cosmetic” or “not urgent.”

⚠️ Stage 2: Fluid Leaks or Vibration
– Wear deepens, seals fail, misalignment occurs.
– The component begins to affect system performance.

💥 Stage 3: Component Failure
– Shaft breaks, cylinder jams, or bearings seize.
– Equipment goes down, projects get delayed.

💰 Stage 4: Unplanned Downtime & Replacement Costs
– Now you are looking at costly replacements, machine disassembly, and operational losses.

🛠 Why Brush Plating Should Be Done Early

✅ Targets Damage Early – Brush Plating allows you to repair only the affected areas before they spread.
✅ Preserves Original Component – No need to scrap or replace large assemblies.
✅ Fast Turnaround – Repairs can be done on-site or in our workshop, minimizing downtime.
✅ Cost-Saving – Restoring a component is often 70–80% cheaper than replacing it.
