The displacement of unwanted coatings, such as paint and rust, from metallic substrates is a common challenge across multiple industries. This contrasting study assesses the efficacy of laser ablation as a viable method for addressing this issue, contrasting its performance when targeting polymer paint films versus iron-based rust layers. Initial o

Laser ablation has emerged as a highly precise technique for the removal of paint and remediation of rust. This non-contact process utilizes a focused laser beam to ablate the target material, leaving minimal alteration to the underlying surface. The versatility of laser ablation allows for targeted removal of paint layers without affecting surrou
