Procedure For Shaft Bent Repair (Stainless Steel)

This document outlines the procedure for repairing a bent stainless steel shaft. It involves the following steps: 1. Checking the shaft for defects and measuring the maximum deflection point. 2. Heating a section of the shaft around the bent area to 600 degrees and using hydraulic pressure to gradually straighten the shaft back to its original alignment. 3. Repeating the heating and pressing steps until the shaft is straightened with zero deflection, then checking the alignment against reference points.

Procedure for Shaft bent repair (stainless steel)

1- For tapper end bent first do DPI test in key way area, other no need for
DPI
2- Shaft Trueness check for the bent length and mark up max. deflection
and points of zero deflection (to investigate deflected span if its
localized)
3- Fix on hydraulic machine and set up alignment reference points
4- Preheat to be applied on a span equal to half of deflected span and
centered on max. deflection point
5- Preheat to a temperature of 600 degrees (dark red glow point)
6- Use hydraulic press to achieve P pressure gradually and not sudden
load
P= (6UZ/2000L)
P
pressure load in tons
U
Ultimate strength of the stainless steel (psi)
Z
section models
L
length between supports under shaft (span of bent area)
7- Check to reference points and check soundness of deflection
8- Repeat the process till achieve zero deflection
9- For tapper end bent first do DPI test in key way area, other no need for
DPI

Procedure for Shaft welding build up (stainless


steel)
1- Secure shaft and archive the min. length of unsupported span of weld
area
2- Preheat till 350 degrees for the welding area and 150 for HAZ
3- Build up process should be equally distributed on both ends of welding
area i.e. one pass from one end then on pass from the other end to
achieve min. distortion
4- After completion of buildup, machining takes place
5- Trueness check for the whole shaft length with min. L/6 no. of points
