The elimination of unwanted coatings, such as paint and rust, from metallic substrates is a recurring challenge across various industries. This contrasting study assesses the efficacy of focused laser ablation as a practical technique for addressing this issue, comparing its performance when targeting organic paint films versus metallic rust layers

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