Steel has always been the backbone of nation’s economy. Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited – Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (RINL-VSP) popularly known as “ Vizag Steel ” the “Pride of Steel” , a leading Central PSU under the Ministry of Steel is the first shore based Integrated Steel plant I the country. At VSP there is emphasis on total automation, seamless integration and efficient up gradation, which result in wide range of long and structural products to meet stringent demands of discerning customers within India and abroad. VSP has become the first integrated Steel Plant in the country to be certified to all the three international standards for quality (ISO-9001), for Environment Management (ISO-14001) & for Occupational Health & Safety (OHSAS-18001). The bush is a stationary element in the bearing assembly. The bearing bushing is to be considered as the radial bearing proper. It is designed in the form of a babbit–metal lined steel shell. The babbit metal is a one type of soft metal used in bush is to perform operations with most effective. Reasonably long eye bolts are screwed into the tapped holes provided in the flange faces of the bushing. So many bushes at both drive side and operation side are get damaged because the wear out takes place on the inside babbit metal layer. The damaged bushes are send to the scrap area. The main objective of this project is to reduce the inventory cost by reconditioning of bushes in wire rod mill. In this research work, the damaged bushes are reconditioned by using metal coating (Two wire electric arc spraying )method.
