Re: Build up bearing seat area on shaft?
Hey Dave, not sure if I understand your application correctly - does the shaft carry roller bearings or white metal or other type of bearings? At what temperature does your shaft operate, and is oil supplied to the bearings under pressure (in other words, is it something like a main/big-end journal on a crakshaft?) Either case it will not be advisable to try to plate it with anything except for a grade of chrome called Hard Chrome - but this would then have to be ground back to size. Same would go if you were to repair the worn shaft with welding and re-grinding.
