Our 100% guaranteed aftermarket parts have saved customers substantial amounts of money—money which translates immediately to the bottom line in the form of reduced operating and/or capital expenses.
The Reverse Engineering Process
- Sample Received– Whether it’s a stock item or an item made to order for a special application, the process begins with a new or used sample received by Orbital Energy Services.
- Reverse Engineering – After receiving your sample, we confirm all required properties using our state of the art equipment; properties such as dimensions, hardness, and material composition.
- Design – From the reverse engineering data, a detailed CAD manufacturing drawing is created in accordance with international design standards.
- Price Estimate – A price estimate is provided to the customer for the finished part. Typically, savings are in the range of 15-30% over the OEM part, if even available. More savings can be realized as production quantities increase.
- Manufacture – Upon agreement on the design and price, Orbital Energy Services manufactures the part, keeping the customer updated on status along the way. After passing a stringent quality inspection, parts typically ship the same day.
DURABILITY IMPROVEMENTS
Orbital Energy Services has developed and proven advanced processes to increase durability and prolong component life. One process, a weld application of a stellite alloy to valve wear areas, results in superior wear and corrosion resistance. The stellite overlay has proven to virtually eliminate scale buildup and erosion of parts in the steam path. In addition, Orbital Energy Services has complete in-house gas nitriding capability.
Gas nitriding is a surface hardening process, where nitrogen is added to the surface of steel parts using dissociated ammonia as the source. Gas nitriding develops a very hard case in a component at relatively low temperature, without the need for quenching. As a result, a very high strength product with extremely good wear resistance can be produced, with little or no dimensional change. For valve components, these material enhancements translate into increased durability and service life and ultimately, reduced maintenance cost.
All parts supplied by Orbital Energy Services meet or exceed the OEM original standards and specs with a full warranty against defects from time of purchase. Every part, component or accessory we provide – whether it’s for a steam turbine valve or mechanical drive system – is backed by our reputation for getting it right the first time, on time, and at prices you can afford.
Today’s business climate demands strict cost controls to maintain competitiveness. Let us increase your margins by replacing your machine’s OEM parts with aftermarket parts manufactured by Orbital Energy Services.
