The removal of unwanted coatings, such as paint and rust, from metallic substrates is a common challenge across several industries. This contrasting study investigates the efficacy of focused laser ablation as a feasible technique for addressing this issue, juxtaposing its performance when targeting organic 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 ablate the target material, leaving minimal damage to the underlying surface. The versatility of laser ablation allows for targeted removal of paint layers without affecting surroundin
