SIFCO Selective Plating

SIFCO Selective Plating specializes in selec- tive electrofinishing for OEM and repair/rebuild applications. At SNAME, the company will ex- hibit its equipment and supplies for on-board component repair.

According to SIFCO, its technology reduces equipment downtime, eliminates expen- sive disassembly and shipping of compo- nents, provides a permanent, cost-effec- tive repair, and reduces the need for post- plating machining operations.

The electroplating system can be taken aboard ship for in-place repairs of large, hard-to-move components like propeller shafts, bearing seats and turbine casings.

Components of the hydraulic, propulsion, electrical, power generation, and struc- tural systems of ships can also be main- tained using the process.
