Precision Surface Cleaning & Coating Removal
Consolidated Metal Technologies provides industrial laser cleaning and laser ablation services for customers requiring precise surface preparation, coating removal, and contaminant removal.
Laser cleaning allows for controlled removal of rust, oxidation, paint, powder coating, carbon buildup, and other contaminants while preserving fine surface detail that can be damaged through sanding, grinding, or aggressive blasting methods.
This makes laser cleaning especially effective for machined parts, tooling, delicate geometries, engraved surfaces, precision components, and projects where maintaining the integrity of the underlying material is important.
Our laser ablation process is capable of meeting the requirements of AMPP SP21511-1-2024, the industry specification for laser cleaning of metallic substrates.
Industrial Applications
Industrial Applications
Our laser cleaning services are ideal for:
- Rust and oxidation removal
- Paint and powder coating stripping
- Carbon and soot removal
- Tool and mold cleaning
- Surface preparation before coating
- Selective coating removal
- Cleaning sensitive or complex surfaces
We work with a variety of substrates including steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
Advantages of Laser Cleaning
Compared to traditional abrasive cleaning methods, laser cleaning offers several advantages:
- Protection against flash rusting
- Preserves fine surface detail
- Reduces risk of substrate damage
- No abrasive blasting media
- Precise, controllable cleaning
- Effective on delicate or complex surfaces
- Ideal for targeted cleaning applications
Laser cleaning can often remove contaminants and coatings without rounding edges, altering dimensions, or damaging machined features.
