Spiral Welding shaft repair?
(OP)
Hello,
In several websites for electric motor and pump repairs I found a shaft repair method called spiral welding technique

If anybody knows something regarding this method, please share...
Is it suitable for electric motors/pumps wоrn shafts? What is special?
Because what I know is to weld the shaft in lines parralel with the shaft, placed at 180o, to avoid shaft bending

RE: Spiral Welding shaft repair?
I've seen it done on shafts upto 1000mm in diameter.
The rest of the details are in the links.
If just a method of depositing metal in a way that does not affect the parent metal properties.

Spiral welding we do is done using mig welders and the lathes turning on a slow drive and feeding across on the screw feed. What in particular is it you would like to know?

Audited quality control of the process and routine QA testing are important too.
If the vendor claims they can repair "any" shaft material by welding, run away from them very quickly.
