Transform your manufacturing efficiency with laser cladding technology that extends equipment life and reduces costly downtime. APEX ETG partners with OEMs and manufacturers to deliver surface engineering solutions that enhance product durability, improve performance, and support sustainable production goals.
Whether protecting a single critical component or implementing plant-wide maintenance strategies, our laser cladding solutions help manufacturers achieve operational excellence while reducing costs and environmental impact.
Our technology is built for performance. By reclaiming and enhancing critical components, we help reduce downtime, extend service life, and improve equipment productivity — all with faster, more efficient turnaround times than conventional methods.
Manufacturing equipment faces relentless wear from 24/7 operations, with friction and abrasion degrading critical surfaces. Our tungsten carbide laser cladding creates wear-resistant barriers that multiply component lifespan, keeping production lines operational longer between maintenance intervals.
Steel production and metal forming expose equipment to enormous thermal loads and rapid temperature changes. APEX ETG’s specialised coatings withstand these extreme conditions, protecting rolls, dies, and forming tools from thermal fatigue and oxidation.
Chemical processing and hostile production environments accelerate equipment degradation through corrosion. Our nickel-based and cobalt-based alloy coatings provide superior protection, maintaining dimensional integrity and surface quality throughout extended service cycles.
Deliver superior products with components engineered for extended service life. Our precision coatings help OEMs differentiate their offerings through improved durability and performance specifications.
Keep production lines running with equipment that resists wear, corrosion, and fatigue. Laser cladding extends maintenance intervals and reduces unexpected failures that disrupt manufacturing schedules.
Australian manufacturers face intense pressure to maximise equipment efficiency while minimising operational costs. Production lines can’t afford unexpected failures, yet critical components endure constant wear, thermal stress, and corrosive environments that degrade performance. Traditional maintenance approaches mean frequent replacements, production interruptions, and escalating costs that impact competitiveness. APEX ETG’s advanced surface engineering solutions help OEMs strengthen their products while enabling manufacturers to extend equipment life dramatically. From steel production rolls to precision tooling, we deliver tailored solutions that keep production lines running at peak efficiency.
APEX ETG partners with manufacturers across diverse industries to solve complex wear challenges. Our state-of-the-art facility handles precision tailored solutions.
Laser cladding can significantly extend component service life by up to 100% when compared to standard parts performance.
This dramatic improvement comes from the mechanical properties of high-performance alloys applied to the surface and from the metallurgically bonded protective coating, keeping your critical equipment operational longer.
High-speed laser cladding (HSLC) delivers productivity gains of up to 300% over traditional coating methods. The combination of faster scanning speeds and minimal post-processing requirements means your components are back in service sooner with better performance.
Our laser cladding turnaround time average over the last 3 years is 10 working days. Depending on the component overall dimensions and weight our team will collaborate with you to design an efficient repair process.
Targeted material deposition through laser cladding achieves 10-20% weight reduction in aerospace and automotive applications. This precision approach eliminates bulky protective coatings while maintaining superior protection, improving both energy efficiency and overall performance.
Laser cladding can help optimise the following mechanical properties:
Hardness, Wear Resistance, Corrosion Resistance, Fatigue Strength, Toughness, Thermal Stability and Bond Strength.
