A significant interest exists in utilizing pulsed ablation techniques for the efficient removal of unwanted coatings and rust layers on various ferrous surfaces. This investigation systematically compares the effectiveness of differing laser settings, including shot time, spectrum, and intensity, across both paint and oxide removal. Early data indi
Laser Ablation for Paint Removal and Rust Remediation
Laser ablation presents a precise efficient technique for both paint removal and rust remediation. This non-contact method leverages focused laser beams to melt the target material, leaving the underlying surface unaffected. Unlike conventional methods that employ abrasive materials or chemicals, laser ablation minimizes collateral damage and reduc
