Desalination pump component manufacturing and repair

Functional surfaces and finished dimensions

Shafts, sleeves, impellers and valve components must be assessed for both geometry and surface function. A new part may require a localised deposit; a used component requires an assessment of its condition and the areas to be restored. The drawing and acceptance requirements establish the manufacturing or repair scope.

AESA machines Super Duplex Stainless Steel, Inconel and other materials in its machining range. For desalination service, a material family alone is insufficient: the grade, supply condition and process fluid are needed. Cladding or coating selection also considers temperature, observed wear and the required final finish.

CNC machining prepares component geometry and deposition areas. Grinding can provide the subsequent finish where the material and component require it. The surface processes listed above are robotised; dimensional inspection is integrated during production and on completion, using equipment including the Zeiss Contura G2.

We supply certificates relating to the base material, cladding material and quality control. Our integrated system identifies the cladding batch applied to each component. Documentation and inspection requirements are reviewed with the order.

AESA applied Stellite 6 by robotised laser cladding to a defined area of a new super duplex impeller. The deposit adds a localised functional surface to the new component.
