If you’ve ever had a broken or cracked casting on one of your machines, you know how challenging it can be to repair it — and repair it right!

Pyramid can help! We fix castings by either brazing or stitching them. The method our skilled craftsmen employ typically is determined by the casting’s size. Those weighing up to a few hundred pounds are usually pre-heated and then brazed.

Larger castings are frequently metal-stitched, a method that requires no heat. This mechanical repair produces a strong, rigid casting that rivals the original iron in strength. Even large boring mill beds and slides can be stitched and have the integrity of the piece restored. If necessary, we install gussets and support braces to aid in ensuring the casting will withstand the required loads.
