Enhancing Corrosion Protection with A-LUX Laser Technology and Cold Galvanization

Corrosion remains one of the greatest challenges facing industries relying on steel and iron structures. Traditional surface preparation methods for galvanization repairs—such as abrasive blasting and mechanical grinding—can be labor-intensive, environmentally hazardous, and inconsistent in quality. Argento Lux introduces a transformative approach that combines our advanced laser cleaning technology with cold galvanization, offering a superior, efficient solution to combat corrosion.

In our latest demonstration video, the powerful A-LUX 2000W-CW laser system is showcased expertly cleaning and profiling a steel substrate simultaneously, rapidly creating an ideal 3-4 mil profile for coating application. Immediately following laser ablation, a 93% Zinc-rich cold galvanization spray is applied, illustrating the seamless integration of these two technologies.

Why Choose Laser Cleaning with Cold Galvanization?

• Precision and Speed: The A-LUX laser rapidly removes rust, contaminants, and failed coatings, achieving precise surface profiles significantly faster than conventional methods.

• Superior Coating Adhesion: Laser ablation produces an optimal surface texture, enhancing the adherence and durability of zinc-rich coatings.

• Cleaner and Environmentally Friendly: Minimal waste generation, dust-free operation, and reduced exposure to hazardous materials make laser ablation safer and more sustainable.
