The elimination of unwanted coatings, such as paint and rust, from metallic substrates is a common challenge across various industries. This evaluative study investigates the efficacy of focused laser ablation as a feasible technique for addressing this issue, comparing its performance when targeting painted paint films versus ferrous rust layers.

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 melt the target material, leaving minimal disruption to the underlying surface. The versatility of laser ablation allows for targeted removal of paint layers without affecting adjace
