Laser Weld Cleaning & Weld Prep for DMV Fabricators
Better welds start with clean metal.
LaserRust Pro helps fabrication and welding shops prep joints and clean finished welds with a handheld laser. We remove mill scale, rust, oil, oxide, and heat tint without grinding away base metal or adding a messy abrasive step to your workflow.
Pre-weld preparation
Contaminants in the weld zone cause porosity, inclusions, and inconsistent fusion. Laser cleaning strips mill scale, rust, oil, and coatings from the joint area in seconds. You get a consistent, bright surface without the gouging and uneven material removal that come with flap discs.
Post-weld cleaning
- Heat tint and discoloration on stainless steel
- Oxide and soot around MIG, TIG, and stick welds
- Spatter residue and surface contamination before finishing
- Prep for paint, powder coat, or inspection
Built for production schedules
We come to your shop with mobile equipment, so there's no shipping parts out. We can work on a single run or provide recurring scheduled service for shops with steady volume.
Weld Cleaning FAQ
Can laser cleaning remove heat tint from stainless?
Yes. Laser cleaning removes heat tint and oxide from stainless steel welds. For critical corrosion-resistance applications, ask us about your specific passivation requirements.
Is laser prep faster than grinding?
For many joints, yes. It also removes contaminants without taking off base metal or leaving grinding marks.
Do you offer recurring service for fabrication shops?
Yes. We can set up scheduled visits for shops with ongoing weld prep or finishing volume.
