Cavitation Damage Repair — Restoring Blade Profile & Performance

What is Cavitation Damage Repair?

KCC carries out underwater repair of cavitation erosion damage to propeller blades using specialist underwater welding and filling compounds. Cavitation damage, if left unrepaired, progressively worsens and can lead to blade failure.

What's Included

Assessment of cavitation damage extent and repair requirements
Preparation of damaged areas for repair
Application of underwater welding or specialist filling compounds
Grinding and polishing of repaired areas to restore blade profile
Post-repair inspection and documentation

Why This Matters

Cavitation erosion is a progressive process — small pits grow into large craters that alter the blade profile and reduce efficiency. Early repair prevents progressive deterioration and restores the blade to its original profile.
