In the world of surface treatment, STI | Hartchrom is a synonym for tailor-made solutions. While STI makes no compromise with regard to quality and precision, it is just as flexible with its range of services. Even in cases of emergency. When galvanic or mechanical repairs are required and fast reaction times are imperative, the STI Mobile Service repairs your parts on site - worldwide.
STI Mobile Service
In emergencies, if galvanic or mechanical repairs become necessary and fast reaction times are vital, STI | Hartchrom mobilises all of its know-how and transfers it to you – around the globe. With selective coatings (tampon electro-plating), high-quality local coatings (spot plating) and the associated mechanical preparatory and finishing work, STI | Hartchrom repairs untreated base materials and functional surfaces on site in your premises. Over the years, STI | Hartchrom has developed these techniques and has refined them corresponding to its high quality and environmental standards.
Thanks to this know-how, in combination with the appropriate electrolytes, well-designed equipment and optimal heat distribution, STI | Hartchrom also repairs very demanding coatings with homogenous functional characteristics, such as, for example, mirror-polished surfaces. And, of course, all this takes place taking the relevant environmental aspects into account.
Extension of service life, minimal failure times, reduced installation and transport costs – the economic advantages of the STI Mobile Services are as numerous as its application areas.
Overhaul
Whether your components exhibit local blemishes upon delivery or you want their lifetime to be extended with a new coating – the STI | Hartchrom Repair Service comprises a number of specialised services, realising the repairs of your components in an economically highly profitable manner.
Dimensional corrections
If components drop below or above the tolerances due to faulty manufacturing, STI | Hartchrom applies dimensional corrections. Even worn out components are mechanically or chemically decoated, recoated in line with the required measurements and subsequently ground to reach their final state.
Regeneration
Damaged and worn out coatings are removed and reapplied to completely restore your components' functions.
Repairs
In order to avoid costly new surface treatments in the event of local damage, STI | Hartchrom has developed a number of procedures such as repairing with pins, welding, dabbing, local chrome plating and chrome plating on top of a nickel layer.
Homogenisation of basic materials - pores, blowholes and flaws
Weaknesses in the component's basic material impair the coating process or are responsible for poor functioning of the component. STI | Hartchrom offers you special procedures to seal such imperfections.
