Heavy Steel Gear Teeth
This video shows laser cleaning of heavy steel gear teeth, a critical weld preparation step in metal fabrication. The process removes rust, paint, and mill scale from the precise tooth profiles to ensure proper coating adhesion and reliable inspection.

Related Materials
Laser cleaning of heavy steel gear teeth, whether on steel, zinc, or cast iron substrates, must be carefully calibrated to avoid altering the critical geometry of the tooth flanks.
Related Applications
Laser cleaning prepares heavy steel gear teeth for reliable thermal spray adhesion, just as it does for weld prep in rail fabrication, by removing mill scale and oxides without damaging the base metal.
