Why does a specialized partner in machining and welding solutions for predictive maintenance make a difference?
Having a specialized industrial partner like ASIMER makes a difference in any predictive maintenance strategy, as it provides comprehensive technical support tailored to the demands of each sector. This ensures that critical components—pumps, valves, compressors—operate optimally for longer, reducing unplanned downtime costs and minimizing operational risks.
This is key in high-precision machining for the Oil & Gas sector, where maximum reliability is required for parts subjected to extreme conditions.
In this context, ASIMER stands out by offering industrial machining for predictive maintenance, with comprehensive solutions that enhance equipment reliability.
Key advantages of a partner like ASIMER include:
🔹 High-precision CNC machining tailored to each part and application.
To optimize resources, many industrial companies outsource machining and specialized welding processes. This is especially common in the field of machining and welding outsourcing for Oil & Gas, where technical and regulatory requirements are highly demanding.
ASIMER has advanced CNC technology, such as Trevisan machining centers, capable of machining large or complex components. Our machining processes are customized for each sector (Oil & Gas, cryogenics, naval, etc.), working with materials such as stainless steels, superalloys, or special castings.
The result is a precise fit that facilitates assembly, optimizes performance, and reduces premature wear—essential in a well-designed predictive maintenance plan.
🔹 Specialized welding (TIG, automatic MIG, PTA) to enhance durability
Welding is much more than a joining technique; in critical applications, it is an active reinforcement against wear, corrosion, or mechanical fatigue.
ASIMER offers:
- TIG welding, ideal for high-quality joints in stainless steels and sensitive alloys.
- Automatic MIG welding, used for large series or repetitive geometries requiring uniformity.
- PTA welding (Plasma Transferred Arc) for hardfacing and regeneration of wear zones in components such as valve seats or pump shafts.
All these processes are supported by qualified procedures (PQR/WPS) and certified operators according to international standards such as ASME IX and ISO 3834-2, ensuring consistent and traceable results.
🔹 Technical coatings for aggressive environments
In high-demand sectors, various coating types for industrial valves in extreme environments are applied to extend the service life of critical components.
In industries such as petrochemicals or cryogenics, parts are exposed to extreme conditions (pressure, temperature, corrosion, abrasion). ASIMER applies technical coatings (e.g., Stellite, Inconel, other hardfacings) that extend component life and reduce the need for corrective interventions.
These coatings are applied through controlled processes, optimizing adhesion and thickness according to the application, and are essential for parts such as cryogenic valves or industrial pumps.
🔹 Added value beyond a standard supplier
Choosing a partner that provides predictive maintenance services allows companies to anticipate failures and optimize intervention cycles.
Unlike a standard supplier that simply performs one-off tasks, a partner like ASIMER:
✅ Provides technical knowledge to anticipate failures and recommend improvements.
✅ Offers flexibility to adapt to drawings, specifications, and tight deadlines.
✅ Ensures compliance with international standards and regulations, including non-destructive testing (PT, UT, MT) by qualified personnel.
✅ Integrates solutions with a comprehensive vision aligned with predictive maintenance objectives.
CNC machining solutions for predictive maintenance of critical components
High-precision CNC machining is a key element in ensuring that industrial components—pumps, valves, compressors, and other critical parts—meet the specifications required by predictive maintenance plans and industry quality standards.

Welding and coating solutions for industrial predictive maintenance
Technical welding solutions and advanced coatings are an essential pillar of predictive maintenance strategies, as they not only repair worn parts but also strengthen and extend their service life before critical failures occur.
At ASIMER Group, we apply welding and coating technologies tailored to each sector’s conditions and requirements:
TIG welding (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding)
TIG welding is ideal for high-precision, high-quality joints, especially in materials sensitive to deformation or corrosion, such as stainless steels and superalloys.
👉 Used for components where structural integrity and bead appearance are critical, such as valve seats, shafts, or parts exposed to severe thermal cycles.
Automatic MIG welding (Metal Inert Gas)
Automatic MIG welding is an efficient solution for components requiring uniform joints in large series or repetitive geometries.
👉 At ASIMER, it is particularly useful for regenerating wear zones in pump casings, valve bodies, or covers subjected to constant mechanical stress.
PTA welding (Plasma Transferred Arc) and hardfacing
PTA welding is a metal deposition coating technique that allows high-hardness materials to be applied to wear- or corrosion-prone areas.
👉 Used, for example, for coating valve sealing surfaces, seats, shafts, or components exposed to cavitation or erosion.
👉 Hardfacing with PTA provides precise control of deposit thickness and quality, ensuring superior adhesion and high resistance under extreme conditions.
Technical coatings with high-performance materials
At ASIMER, we apply coatings with materials such as:
- Stellite®: cobalt-based alloy for reinforcing components against friction and erosion wear.
- Inconel®: nickel-based alloy that provides resistance to corrosion and high temperatures, ideal for petrochemical plants or cryogenic systems.
These coatings are selected based on the application, fluid type, temperature, and operating conditions.
Advantages for predictive maintenance
✅ Extend component life before failures occur.
✅ Reduce corrective intervention cycles.
✅ Ensure compliance with international standards (ASME IX, ISO 3834-2).
✅ Enable full traceability through qualified procedures (PQR/WPS) and certified operators.
Quality control and metrology in predictive maintenance solutions
Quality control and advanced metrology are essential elements in any effective predictive maintenance strategy. It’s not enough to manufacture or repair a component: precise verification is needed to ensure it meets the exact specifications required for its function in critical industrial environments.
At ASIMER Group, we integrate these capabilities as an essential part of our technical solutions.

The result is a perfect fit during assembly, reducing the risk of failures due to misalignment or undetected deformation.
Non-destructive testing (NDT) to ensure integrity
Non-destructive testing is an integral part of ASIMER’s processes, applied to both new parts and those undergoing repair or regeneration.
👉 Techniques used:
- Liquid penetrant testing (PT): for detecting surface cracks, porosity, or open discontinuities in non-porous materials, essential for valves, pump casings, or seats.
- Ultrasonic testing (UT): for detecting internal defects or structural failures in critical components.
- Magnetic particle testing (MT): in ferromagnetic materials, for locating cracks or subsurface defects.
These tests are performed by personnel certified to international standards, ensuring reliable, documented results.
Added value in predictive maintenance
Quality control and metrology provide:
✅ Full traceability of machined or repaired components.
✅ Safety in subsequent assembly and operation.
✅ Reduced risk of unplanned downtime due to undetected defects.
