The removal 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 viable technique for addressing this issue, comparing its performance when targeting polymer paint films versus metallic rust layers. Initial

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 vaporize the target material, leaving minimal disruption to the underlying surface. The versatility of laser ablation allows for selective removal of paint layers without affecting n
