The Application of this fast curing epoxy

For engine repairs requiring precision machining, Devcon Titanium Putty is an excellent choice. It can be machined after curing, allowing for the restoration of original dimensions and avoiding expensive replacements.  Devcon Titanium Putty is particularly suitable for precision repairs where machining is required. It can also be used for:

• Emergency repairs
• Restore bearing housings and scored shafts, keyways
• Rebuild wear rings, hydraulic rams, and valves
• Repair equipment and parts that require a machined finish, and
• Other components with close tolerances.

As an example, a damaged or worn shaft is machined down to sound metal and abrasive grit blasted to give a rough surface for proper bonding of Devcon Titanium Putty. The Putty product is then mixed and applied to build the shaft back to its original dimensions. If a keyway is needed in the shaft, a key may simply be coated with Devcon Liquid Release Agent and embedded in the Titanium Putty in the desired location. Devcon emergency products are exactly what your team needs.

When machining the cured product, it’s recommended to wait at least four hours but no longer than 24 hours after application. Specific guidelines for machining, including lathe speed, cutting parameters, and polishing techniques, are provided to ensure optimal results.
