The displacement of unwanted coatings, such as paint and rust, from metallic substrates is a frequent challenge across multiple industries. This contrasting study investigates the efficacy of laser ablation as a practical method for addressing this issue, contrasting its performance when targeting polymer paint films versus iron-based rust layers.

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 disruption to the underlying surface. The versatility of laser ablation allows for selective removal of paint layers without affecting nearby
