An increase in metal-bonding technologies has led to a greater need for highly effective cleaning solutions. From preparing parts and equipment for joining to removing pollutants that creep in afterwards, laser cleaning offers an environmentally-friendly, cost-effective solution for any bonding application.
How does laser cleanign work for welding & bonding Treatments?
Laser cleaning works by sending pulses of light towards a surface. The laser light will either turn susceptible contaminants into gas or remove them from the surface through pressure. For metal-joining applications, this means removing layers of residue and other pollutants from the metal surfaces, allowing for a stronger and more effective bond. Laser cleaning can also be used post-bonding to prepare surfaces for coating and other additional treatments without harming the integrity of the weld.
Laser Bonding & Welding Preparation
Laser cleaning for metals removes residues such as oils, rust, oxide, and additional contaminants without damaging the integrity of the substrate layer. This creates a more effective joining process — ensuring longer-lasting joints.
We offer hyperpassivation, a custom process that creates greater corrosion resistance and the most stable bonding surface available. Hyperpassivation works best for lightweight materials only, and is perfect for not only bonding preparation but also ensuring batteries or other components are sealed when bonded to prevent creep corrosion.
What are the benefits of laser cleaning for bonding & welding pre-treatment
- Makes the welding process more effective by assuring better joining of metal components
- Cleans without interacting with the substrate integrity
- Allows for joining process to occur with higher quality and strength
- Cleans more quickly than alternative cleaning methods
- Creates little to no waste
- Environmentally friendly
- Cheaper than traditional industrial cleaning methods
