LaserBond LimitedMetal Coating & Surface Engineering

LaserBond is a long-established, stable and innovative company specialising in the reclamation and surface engineering of industrial components operating in severe environments and critical applications. The formation of the company coincided with a significant technology development in thermal spraying known as High Pressure High Velocity Oxy Fuel (HP HVOF). HP HVOF considerably increased the quality and performance of thermally sprayed coatings and as a consequence, greatly broadened the range of potential coating applications. By initially concentrating on these new applications and supporting its developments with an extensive in house metallographic laboratory, the Company quickly established itself as a major player in the thermal spray market. In 2001, after significant research, LaserBond commissioned its first laser cladding system, to further broaden its capabilities, and to provide its customers with access to coatings and overlays with a full metallurgical bond. This technology permits the welding of precision layers of material, with minimised heat input, and almost no metallurgical side effects.
