Oxidation occurs when atmospheric and environmental conditions interact with metal surfaces, causing the metal to corrode, or rust. This significantly hinders the lifespan and performance of parts and equipment. While traditional methods of rust removal and corrosion control are time-consuming and involve blasting, grinding, and phosphoric acids plus lots of protective equipment. Lasers work dry, without wear of the substrate materials, and allow mobile use even on installed parts or hard to reach places.
Laser cleaning offers a safe and much faster way to remove rust from any type of metal. It fully removes corrosion to the bare metal without altering the integrity of the metal. It also eliminates the hassle of having to dispose of hazardous waste. This means that once the cleaning is done, the job is done – providing the perfect solution for aircraft, ship, and armored vehicle maintenance. The quick setup and teardown time also makes laser cleaning a time saver for you and your team.
Laser cleaning offers a versatile solution for various mold applications. It eliminates the need for dismantling and moving to another area for cleaning, and in some cases, can be done at the mold’s operating temperatures, minimizing downtime.
In the automotive industry, laser cleaning is ideal for cleaning tire molds and non-metallic part molds. Conventional methods like dry ice blasting or abrasives may damage the molds and reduce their integrity and consistency over time. Laser cleaning, however, effectively removes residues without harming the mold’s complex geometries, saving time and ensuring consistent part quality. This leads to increased longevity for the molds, reduced maintenance costs, and improved production consistency for manufacturers.
For rubber mold cleaning, speed is crucial. Laser cleaning systems significantly outperform traditional methods, cleaning 2m² per hour compared to eight hours of downtime and manual labor for conventional cleaning. Laser cleaning is particularly effective for aluminum molds, as it preserves the base material better than sand-blasting and can handle thicker and sturdier contamination that traditional methods struggle with.
For the food industry hygiene is very important. Food must be processed in a very clean environment following very strict regulations. To meet these regulations, it is necessary to clean the molds in an environmentally friendly way. Sandblasting or the use of chemical solvents is a no-go. Laser cleaning is an excellent solution because it is clean and very easy to integrate in-line.
Surface preparation for NDT during shutdowns, scheduled inspections of plant, equipment and assets can all benefit from the precise and deep cleaning that laser cleaning offers. Whether before painting, welding, soldering or adhesive bonding -a perfectly cleaned surface is an essential prerequisite for a durable connection. Unlike sandblasting, laser cleaning does not smear the surface or conceal the defect.
Our lasers can penetrate cracks and remove surface debris, enhancing the visibility of all cracks and defects, leaving the surface in an ideal condition for dye penetrant and magnetic particle testing. It’s no wonder why NDT technicians love using our laser-cleaning solutions. Arizona Laser Clean can selectively and precisely remove surface corrosion, paint, soot, oil, grease, and most other thin layers of surface contamination prior to NDT inspection.
Arizona Laser Cleaning can selectively and precisely remove coatings and residues from ferrous and non-ferrous metals, wood, masonry and more. Our advanced systems allow for meticulous paint removal, enabling the process to be done layer by layer, providing flexibility and control over the restoration process. Our laser technology revolutionizes coating removal by eliminating the need for abrasive materials and harsh chemicals. This eco-friendly approach is particularly advantageous for on-site and in situ projects, where localized coating removal is required. By employing our laser cleaning method, clients can avoid the expenses associated with encapsulation and disposal of blast media.
Many of our esteemed clients find our laser’s coating removal capabilities essential prior to conducting welding, brazing, bonding, or applying a new coating. This preparatory step ensures a pristine surface, optimizing the success and longevity of subsequent processes. At Arizona Laser Cleaning, we are committed to providing state-of-the-art solutions for your restoration needs.
Traditional grease removal methods have been costly, messy, and time-consuming. However, with our laser cleaning technology, degreasing any surface becomes effortless and fast. The benefit of grease and oil being dark or black when they require removal makes them perfect candidates for laser cleaning. The contaminated layer quickly absorbs the laser beam’s heat, evaporating without harming the underlying substrate. Our skilled technicians can effectively remove grease and oil from diverse surfaces such as engine blocks, transmissions, mechanical parts, equipment, and tools.
