Laser cleaning: cleaning application on metal rust removal

The most common rust phenomenon of metal rust is that iron products have been exposed to the air for a long time and have an oxidation reaction with oxygen, or are corroded by oxygen in the water to become oxides. This rust reduces the quality of the metal, making it unsuitable for use in various applications. If the metal is rusted, it needs to be removed. The following describes the cleaning application of the laser cleaning machine in metal rust removal.

Traditional rust and scale removal methods include physical rust removal methods, such as sandblasting, polishing, scraping devices, additional blowing, and wire brushing. There are also chemical methods, such as the use of alkaline or acid chemicals to remove the oxide layer. However, these methods not only cause environmental pollution, but also damage the base metal. In order to avoid these shortcomings, laser cleaning has become the preferred method for descaling and descaling operations. Irradiate the rust layer with a laser beam with peak power and high repetition rate to remove the rust layer/oxide layer.

Laser cleaning can remove various types of contaminants on the surface of various materials to achieve a cleanliness that cannot be achieved by conventional cleaning. Moreover, the contaminants on the surface of the material can be selectively cleaned without damaging the surface of the material; the laser cleaning efficiency is high and saves time. With years of laser research and development experience, Shengtong Smart Laser has mature product technology and safe and stable product performance.

The above is the cleaning application of laser cleaning machine in metal rust removal. Laser cleaning is a "green" cleaning method. It does not need to use any chemicals and cleaning fluids. The cleaned waste is basically solid powder and small in size. It is easy to store, recyclable, and can easily solve the environmental pollution problem caused by chemical cleaning.
