ASSESS
Identify the substrate, coatings, rust, access limitations and required end finish.
Selective rust, coating and contaminant removal for suitable parts, assemblies and restoration work. Laser cleaning is one tool in a broader surface-preparation service—not the answer to every job.

ILLUSTRATIVE APPLICATION IMAGE
From a corroded bracket to detailed metalwork, laser settings and the surface finish must suit the material, contamination and geometry.
Identify the substrate, coatings, rust, access limitations and required end finish.
Select laser cleaning for suitable detailed work—or abrasive blasting when large-area removal or an anchor profile is better suited.
Plan laser safety, fume capture, containment, masking and surrounding equipment protection.
Clean methodically and verify the result before any coating application.
Corrosion control often depends on what happens after cleaning. Surface condition, profile, environmental conditions and coating compatibility all matter. I’m developing protective coating options alongside the cleaning work.
LEARN ABOUT COATING OPTIONSDeep scale, heavy coatings and large steel structures may be better served by abrasive blasting, especially when a specified surface profile is needed for subsequent coatings. I evaluate the job before recommending either process.
