Wedge Guided Wear: Guide rails on wedge gate wear from cycling, causing misalignment and difficulty operating. Wedge may cock and jam. Common in high-cycle applications after 8-10 years.
Repair: Re-machine guide rails and wedge guides. If wear exceeds 0.020", replace wedge assembly. Velan wedges are matched sets — both halves must be replaced together. Lead time: 3-5 weeks.
Stellite Seat Delamination: Stellite hardfacing on seats delaminates from thermal shock or improper welding during original manufacture. Creates leak path and debris that damages other components.
Repair: Remove old Stellite, prep surface, re-apply Stellite 6 weld overlay, machine to finish. Requires PWHT and NDE. Lead time: 4-6 weeks.
Emergency repair: 48-72 hours — expedited machining and assembly
