The displacement of unwanted coatings, such as paint and rust, from metallic substrates is a frequent challenge across multiple industries. This evaluative study investigates the efficacy of laser ablation as a practical technique for addressing this issue, juxtaposing its performance when targeting polymer paint films versus iron-based rust layers

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 melt the target material, leaving minimal damage to the underlying surface. The versatility of laser ablation allows for precise removal of paint layers without affecting nearby materi
