Expert Welding Equipment Repair Services — Parts & Support

Yes, many welding machines and welding-related industrial components can be repaired, rebuilt, or restored depending on the failure type. Parkway-Kew Corporation specializes in rebuilding high-wear machine parts using hardfacing, coating, machining, grinding, and custom wear-part fabrication. For electronic welder power-source issues, evaluation may differ, but worn mechanical components are often strong candidates for repair.

Parkway-Kew Corporation supports industrial wear components such as wire drawing blocks, capstans, pulleys, fracking plungers, festoon wheels, crane wheels, sheaves, tuner rolls, step cones, and guide devices. The team focuses on components affected by wear, corrosion, surface breakdown, or frequent changeout, using rebuilding, coating, hardfacing, and machining to restore performance.

Repair is often worthwhile when the base component is still structurally sound and the worn area can be rebuilt, coated, or machined back to serviceable condition. Processes such as Restore & Grind, sub-arc welding, HVOF, thermal spray, and plasma spray can extend component life while reducing the cost and downtime of complete replacement.

Parkway-Kew Corporation uses several hardfacing and coating methods, including submerged arc welding, HVOF coating, fuse welding, plasma spray, thermal spray, and metallizing. The right method depends on the part, wear pattern, operating environment, required surface finish, and whether the component needs improved corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, or extended service life.

Turnaround time depends on component size, condition, coating selection, machining requirements, and production schedule. Parkway-Kew operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm and handles both rebuilding and fabrication work. Complex parts may require engineering review, surface preparation, coating application, grinding, and final dimensional checks before return.

Costs vary by part size, alloy or coating selection, wear severity, and machining requirements. Some solutions are specifically designed to lower lifecycle cost, including Restore & Grind repairs that may be repeated several times before a full new coating is necessary. Parkway-Kew can recommend practical options based on durability, performance, and budget.

Yes. Parkway-Kew Corporation fabricates wear parts with or without coatings, including solid tungsten carbide parts and redesigned components that improve wear life. In-house CNC turning, CNC milling, manual turning, and large-diameter grinding support custom part production, rebuilding, and finishing for demanding industrial applications.

Coating selection is based on the operating environment, wear mechanism, surface finish needs, and component material. Options include ceramics, tungsten carbide, chrome oxide, aluminum, stainless, zinc, and proprietary Parkway-Kew alloys. The engineering team recommends the appropriate surfacing method to improve durability, corrosion resistance, and efficiency for the specific application.
