The elimination of unwanted coatings, such as paint and rust, from metallic substrates is a recurring challenge across multiple industries. This comparative study investigates the efficacy of pulsed laser ablation as a practical technique for addressing this issue, juxtaposing its performance when targeting painted paint films versus metallic rust

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 targeted removal of paint layers without affecting surrounding
