Cold Repair Process

Our own Metalock Cold Repair Process was developed in the oil fields in Texas in the 1920s. During that time most oil field components were manufactured from cast iron. When machinery was damaged (cracked or broken) in the field, engineers had to find a way of repairing the machinery in a very explosive environment without causing any spark or heat.

The repair must be a totally cold process but it had to be a strong repair that would outlast normal oilfield working conditions.

Metalock Cold Casting Repairs was born and we still use the same tried and tested method to this day.
