Laser Heat Treatment
The laser heat treatment service offered by APEX ETG provides you with an efficient and cost-effective solution for surface hardening. The advantage of APEX ETG’s diode laser heat-treating service is the high processing speed with precise case depths resulting in negligible distortion and enhanced resistance to wear, fatigue and corrosion.
The use of the laser surface transformation heating method creates the optimal conditions for achieving excellent results. The laser heat treating process utilises a series of high precision lasers to harden specific areas on various parts while maintaining desirable dimensional tolerances and surface finish. Our high power laser has an output wave-length of 975 nm, is highly absorptive and requires no pre-coating of the work piece to achieve absorption.
This unique process is ideal for parts that require an ultra-precise case depth and limited distortion, without compromising on part/tool performance and quality. The process is inherently a LEAN (single piece flow) process with high processing speed, precision heating control, as well as being highly flexible, easily handling most work piece shapes and geometries.
With an extensive range of materials available, our diode laser heat-treating process will add value to your business!
