We are all very impressed with your facility, capabilities, strength of knowledge in your products and especially satisfied with the quality of work you deliver. Thanks again to all in the Apex team and look forward to our next project together
Ensure optimal surface solutions with comprehensive in-house metallurgical laboratory testing and analysis. From material analysis to quality verification, our metallurgical experts deliver precise testing for laser cladding, welding and laser heat treatment applications.
Our laboratory serves critical quality control functions across all surface engineering projects. We perform comprehensive analysis for laser cladded mining components, validating wear resistance and bond strength. For oil and gas applications, our corrosion testing ensures coatings withstand harsh environments. Hydraulic cylinder repairs undergo rigorous dimensional and hardness verification.
Every test provides actionable data to optimise your surface engineering investment and ensure long-term performance in demanding industrial applications.
Access comprehensive metallurgical analysis that ensures coating quality and optimises surface engineering solutions for your applications.
APEX ETG’s comprehensive capabilities include microstructure examination, hardness profiling, and positive material identification (PMI) to verify coating quality and material properties. With advanced equipment for sample preparation, ultrasonic testing, and dye penetrant inspection, we deliver the data you need to optimise performance. Our laboratory services support quality assurance from initial material selection through final inspection, guaranteeing that every laser cladding application meets exact specifications.

I just want to convey my appreciation for the good work that APEX has done for us. I have just been informed the components APEX repaired for us have exceeded all expectations. We have just crossed the 3x lifecycle benchmark. We would like to develop more applications with the team at APEX.
The game-changer for us to adopt laser cladding as our standard repair method was APEX’s willingness to undergo our supplier qualification process, to produce test tokens for laboratory and mechanical testing, and to adopt our quality control standards from the beginning. We look forward to develop more applications together with Apex ETG.
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.
