Field tests of components regenerated using the MULTIPLEX technology

Abstract
Purpose. The purpose was to show the results of the field tests of components carried out using the MULTIPLEX technology. Design/methodology/approach. The field tests have been carried out on the following components: brake expanders of Mercedes bus, a pintle of the tram trolley component, a pin from a casting cleaning plant element. Each of the tested elements was subject to regeneration through steel surfacing by welding and then chemical and heat treatment. The regenerated elements were compared with original ones working at the same service conditions. Findings. The findings have shown significant prolongation of life of the components regenerated using the MULTIPLEX technology in relation to the original components. Practical implications. The shown regeneration technology is the cost effective way to restore the suitable performance traits or to ensure preventively the suitable properties by initial protection of newly manufactured elements or regeneration of old ones within the framework of recovery procedure. Originality/value. The shown regeneration method is the advanced technology combining welding with chemical and heat treatment.
