The formation of the company coincided with a significant technology development in thermal spraying known as High Pressure High Velocity Oxy Fuel (HP HVOF).
LaserBond™ is a long established, stable and innovative company specialising in the reclamation and surface engineering of industrial components operating in severe environments and critical applications. LaserBond™ commenced trading as HVOF Australia in early 1993 with a vision based on dramatically reducing maintenance costs and extending machinery life by adopting leading edge technologies to m
eet the ever changing needs of industry. HP HVOF considerably increased the quality and performance of thermally sprayed coatings and as a consequence greatly broadened the range of potential coating applications. By initially concentrating on these new applications and supporting it’s developments with an extensive in house metallographic laboratory, the Company quickly established itself as a major player in the thermal spray market. In 2001, after significant research, LaserBondTM commissioned it’s first laser cladding system, to further broaden it’s capabilities, and to provide it’s customers with access to coatings and overlays with a full metallurgical bond. This technology permits the welding of precision layers of material, with minimised heat input, and almost no metallurgical side effects. LaserBondTM today utilizes a comprehensive range of thermal spraying, laser cladding and welding technologies, coupled to robotic handling systems, and a comprehensive machine shop, to provide a complete portfolio of solutions to an ever increasing range of industries. To continue it’s growth, and to allow for geographical and technological growth, the company became publicly listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) in late 2007.
