Power Generation

Turbines, generators and rotating electrical equipment can't afford extended outages. Brush plating restores worn bearing journals, seal areas and slip rings in place — often without removing the rotor from the machine.

Typical components

Turbine shafts and journals
Generator rotors and stators
Slip rings and commutators
Bearing seats and seal areas
Exciter and collector rings

Why brush plating works here

On-site repair of components too large to move to a shop
Copper heavy build-up for pitting, finished with hard nickel for wear resistance
No heat-affected zone — base metal properties are fully preserved

Used Across Every Form of Power Generation

Brush plating has been used by all forms of power generators, including wind power, hydro-electric power, and gas- and coal-fuelled stations. Bearing and seal areas on turbines, pumps, motors, bearing housings and seal flanges are just some of the many applications that exist in these facilities.
