Heavy Duty Impact Protection

Withstand extreme impact forces

Reinforced coatings resist localised deformation from high-energy strikes. Protect crusher hammers, impact plates and wear plates from material loss and structural damage.

Prevent equipment seizure and failure

Impact-resistant surfaces maintain component integrity under punishing conditions. Reduce catastrophic failures that cause production shutdowns and safety risks.

Optimised for heavy-duty applications

Engineered coatings designed for drilling, grinding and excavation equipment. Proven performance in primary crushers, ground engaging tools and transfer chutes.

Advanced impact protection technology

When materials strike with significant force, standard components fail. APEX ETG’s impact-resistant coatings withstand the punishing forces of drilling, grinding and excavation operations. Our laser cladding process creates reinforced surfaces that resist deformation and material loss from repeated high-energy impacts. From crusher hammers to impact plates, we protect equipment operating in the toughest conditions. The metallurgically bonded coatings maintain integrity under extreme stress, preventing the machinery seizures and component failures that cripple productivity.

FAQ section

How much can laser cladding extend component life?

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.

What productivity improvements does laser cladding offer?

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.

How does laser cladding reduce operational downtime?

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.

Can laser cladding help optimise component weight?

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.

What mechanical properties of components can be optimised by using laser cladding?

Laser cladding can help optimise the following mechanical properties:
Hardness, Wear Resistance, Corrosion Resistance, Fatigue Strength, Toughness, Thermal Stability and Bond Strength.
