The removal of unwanted coatings, such as paint and rust, from metallic substrates is a recurring challenge across several industries. This comparative study assesses the efficacy of pulsed laser ablation as a practical technique for addressing this issue, contrasting its performance when targeting organic 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 ablate the target material, leaving minimal damage to the underlying surface. The versatility of laser ablation allows for selective removal of paint layers without affecting surroundi
