The displacement of unwanted coatings, such as paint and rust, from metallic substrates is a common challenge across multiple industries. This evaluative study assesses the efficacy of focused laser ablation as a viable technique for addressing this issue, contrasting its performance when targeting painted 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 vaporize 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 ma
