Laser cleaning: advantages in rust removal
Laser cleaning and rust removal, as a high-tech product for the new generation of industrial surface cleaning, has played a significant role in rust removal. Rusting of metals is inevitable and a chemical reaction, essentially an oxidation reaction of metals. The most common rusting phenomenon is when iron products are exposed to air for a long time and undergo oxidation reaction with oxygen, or are corroded into oxides by oxygen elements in water. However, after rusting, they need to be cleaned of the rust on the metal surface before reuse.
The principle of laser cleaning is to use high-frequency and high-energy laser pulses to irradiate the surface of the workpiece. The coating layer can instantly absorb the focused laser energy, causing oil stains, rust spots or coatings on the surface to evaporate or peel off instantly. This is a high-speed and effective cleaning method for removing surface attachments or coatings. The short duration of the laser pulse will not harm the metal substrate under appropriate parameters. Laser cleaning has advantages that traditional cleaning does not have and is gradually replacing traditional cleaning.
Advantages of laser cleaning and rust removal:
1. Green cleaning: No chemical agents are used, and the waste after cleaning is solid and harmless powder, which can completely solve the environmental pollution problem caused by chemical cleaning.
2. Non destructive cleaning: Laser cleaning is non abrasive, non-contact, and has no thermal effects. It does not generate mechanical forces on the cleaned object, does not damage the surface of the object, does not damage the substrate, and does not produce secondary pollution.
3. Low cost cleaning: The laser cleaning system has a relatively high initial investment, but can be used stably for a long time, with a service life of up to 10 years. It has low operating costs, fast speed, high efficiency, saves time, and can quickly obtain investment returns. In the long run, the cost is lower than traditional cleaning methods.
4. Precision cleaning: Laser cleaning can remove various types of pollutants from the surface of various materials, achieving cleanliness levels that conventional cleaning cannot achieve. And it can also selectively clean the pollutants on the material surface without damaging it.
5. Automated cleaning: Laser can be transmitted through optical fibers and paired with robots to achieve long-distance operation. It can clean complex structural parts that are difficult to reach by traditional methods. This feature also ensures the safety of operators in some dangerous places. Can be equipped with automated equipment to achieve automated cleaning.

The application of laser rust removal machine on steel rails
Laser rust removal is a new technology that is different from traditional cleaning processes in the past. Due to its green, energy-saving, and environmental protection, it has received increasing attention and has a very important application prospect in the rail transit industry. Chengjing Laser performs local cleaning on the train rails sent by customers and uses laser rust removal equipment to clean the rust on the rails. -
The importance of cleaning mechanical components in industrial production
In the field of industrial production, ensuring the cleanliness of various workpieces and components is an essential task in the production process. In the braking system of a car, brake pads are the most critical safety component, and the quality of all braking effects is determined by the brake pads. Therefore, good brake pads are the protector of people and cars. -
Will laser cleaning damage the parts themselves?
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. -
Laser cleaning: Application of small portable laser cleaning machines in post welding cleaning
Metal welding is a manufacturing or sculpting process that connects metals. During the welding process, the workpiece and solder melt or do not melt, forming a direct connection between the material and the weld seam. During this process, it is usually necessary to apply pressure to join the welded parts.
