Steel can be said to be ubiquitous in daily life, but it has a disadvantage that it is prone to rust, especially those without paint or coating protection.

Laser is another major invention of humanity since the 20th century, following nuclear energy, computers, and semiconductors. It is widely used in many fields and is known as the fastest knife, the most accurate ruler, and the brightest light.

A metal part with a surface full of rust, when illuminated by a laser, surprisingly, the rust was instantly removed and turned into new in the blink of an eye. This is because laser cleaning and rust removal is a process that utilizes high-energy laser beams to irradiate the surface of workpieces, causing instantaneous evaporation or peeling of dirt, rust spots, or coatings on the surface, effectively removing surface attachments or coatings on the cleaned object at high speed, thereby achieving a clean process.

Since laser can peel off the rust on the surface of the workpiece, will it damage the part itself? The answer is no.

When rust absorbs laser energy, it will be instantly vaporized and evaporated, and the laser will not cause damage to the metal surface. Because laser cleaning is a non-contact cleaning method and the metal itself has a certain reflectivity to light, it will not damage the parts themselves, and even the engraved letters on the parts themselves will not have any impact. When in use, as long as the light is aimed at the rust and scanned once, the parts can become smooth and new, it is like magic, and during the rust removal process, It also does not generate a lot of dust and noise, greatly reducing the harm to the body.

Three advantages of laser cleaning and rust removal:

1. Non contact cleaning: Laser cleaning has no contact with the material surface during rust removal, and is widely applicable for cleaning various shaped components. It can solve the problem of mechanical cleaning being difficult to deal with complex curved surface processing.

2. Non damaging substrate: Laser cleaning does not damage the substrate or product after cleaning surface pollutants, and can solve the problem of damage to the surface of workpieces caused by mechanical polishing.

3. Efficient and environmentally friendly: Laser cleaning and rust removal machines are efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly. Compared to chemical cleaning, they can effectively solve problems such as damage to the substrate, limited component size, long time, low efficiency, and harmful chemical reagents to human health and the environment.
