Laser texturing creates a microstructure on the surface of this turbine housing to improve its adhesive properties before thermal spray coating. The laser also removes all surface contaminants at the same time, such as rust, dust, and oil. The cleaning and texturing helps create a strong bond between the surface and the thermal spray. Surface oxides that contribute to a better adhesion are also created in the process.

Once coated, the turbine housing will be used as part of a turbocharger (turbo).
