Structural metal bonding and component casting
Welding to join or fabricate metal components introduces heat distortion, and catalog parts rarely match the dimension a worn assembly actually needs.
The need for structural metal bonding and component casting
BHI Coatings performs structural metal bonding and component casting across Alvin and the Texas Gulf Coast. Weld metal together and you put heat into the assembly, which warps it. Order the catalog part and it rarely matches the dimension a worn assembly actually needs. Machining a one-off from billet is slow and costly, and every one of those routes stalls the repair while production waits.
How BHI Coatings does structural metal bonding and component casting
We bond metal to metal cold with structural adhesives, and we cast replacement parts, gasket seals, and support pads directly against the surface they have to mate with. The crew preps both faces, applies the bonding system, and forms the part in place, so it answers the real geometry instead of a drawing. No molds, no machining of a blank, no hot work.
You get a part that fits the worn assembly exactly and a bonded joint with no heat distortion in it. Components are cast and bonded right there on site, with no molds and no fabrication shop in the loop.
