Cast Iron Equipment Housing Repair for a Customer in Corbin, KY

This week we completed a cast iron repair on a damaged equipment housing for a customer here in Corbin, KY. The part had several cracks and areas that had been previously welded, making the repair more challenging. Cast iron requires slow, controlled heat, proper filler material, and careful welding technique to avoid re-cracking — especially when working around old repairs.

We fully cleaned the surfaces, ground out the cracks, and preheated the housing to ensure a stable repair. After carefully building the damaged areas back up, the part was cooled slowly to prevent stress and future failure. The result is a solid, dependable repair that will keep this equipment running without the cost of replacing the entire housing.
