Marine Shaft Repair

[istech]

Dear all,

Has anybody had experience on marine shaft repairs? On many such shafts they will run through a Cutlass style bearing. This usually runs on a sleeve be it brass or stainless steel. My question is:

Has anybody used Thermal Spray Coatings to repair these shaft sleeves? Or is it not cost effective over making a new sleeve and replacing/machining a new one?

If anybody out there would be wiling to share there experience in dealing with the shipyard/marine industry it would be greatly appreciated.
