The elimination of unwanted coatings, such as paint and rust, from metallic substrates is a frequent challenge across various industries. This evaluative study assesses the efficacy of focused laser ablation as a practical technique for addressing this issue, comparing its performance when targeting polymer 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 vaporize the target material, leaving minimal damage to the underlying surface. The versatility of laser ablation allows for targeted removal of paint layers without affecting nearby
