Surface Solutions for the Australian Drilling Industry
APEX ETG’s laser cladding services offer a range of benefits for drilling equipment, including improved wear resistance, longer service life, improved surface finish, reduced friction, repair of damaged drilling parts, and reduced need for expensive replacements.
Common causes of wear on drilling parts include abrasive materials, high temperature, high pressure, and repeated use. Laser cladding can benefit various components used in drilling operations, such as auger flights, teeth, blades, core barrels, rods, bits, drill collars, stabilisers, reamers, samplers, tubes, and tube liners.
Surface Solutions for the Crushing and Screening Industry
APEX ETG’s laser cladding services enhance the wear resistance, durability, and performance of crushing and screening parts, which are often subjected to abrasion, impact, and corrosion.
Increase the service life of specific parts, such as crusher jaws, cones, hammers, blow bars, screening media, and wear plates, by adding a layer of wear-resistant material to the surface. This process provides features such as corrosion resistance, hardness, and toughness, resulting in reduced downtime for maintenance and replacement and improved productivity.
Surface Solutions for Australian Pump Components
APEX ETG’s laser cladding services optimise pump components with benefits like improved wear resistance, precise coating control, enhanced surface properties, reduced downtime, and cost savings. By adding a superior layer of material, the components last longer, require fewer replacements, and enhance performance.
APEX ETG restores dimensions for various pump parts, including impellers, shafts, bearing housing, and seals. This efficient process minimises downtime and costs, resulting in improved pump performance, reduced expenses, and increased lifespan.
Surface Solutions for Australian Defence Industry
APEX ETG’s laser cladding technology is known for its corrosion resistance, improving the durability and reliability of equipment and components. This makes it especially beneficial for navy vessels, protecting essential parts like propulsion systems, hulls, external surfaces, deck machinery, and ventilation systems against marine corrosion.
APEX ETG’s laser cladding offers a customised approach for repairing high-value, hard-to-replace components. This
technique, applied to aircraft like the C-130J Hercules and F/A18 Hornet, could significantly extend engine and turbine blade life. Prospective R&D collaboration between the defence force and APEX ETG may refine these solutions, advancing military aviation maintenance strategies.
