The displacement of unwanted coatings, such as paint and rust, from metallic substrates is a common challenge across multiple industries. This comparative study assesses the efficacy of rust laser ablation as a feasible technique for addressing this issue, contrasting its performance when targeting organic paint films versus metallic rust layers. I

Laser ablation has emerged as a highly efficient 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 precise removal of paint layers without affecting nearby
