The displacement of unwanted coatings, such as paint and rust, from metallic substrates is a frequent challenge across multiple industries. This evaluative study examines the efficacy of laser ablation as a practical procedure for addressing this issue, comparing its performance when targeting organic paint films versus ferrous rust layers. Initial

Laser ablation has emerged as a highly effective 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 damage to the underlying surface. The versatility of laser ablation allows for targeted removal of paint layers without affecting adjacent m
