Process has been used in automotive, welding, military and aerospace industries, but is still relatively new for infrastructure, with one materials group set to adopt a standard and technical guide.
Laser ablation coating removal (LACR) with handheld devices by Adapt Lasers was used to remove possible lead-based paint and rust from a bridge.
Removing coatings and corrosion from aircraft components often requires abrasive blasting, sanding and hazardous chemicals to prepare the surfaces for rework. Engineers and artisans at Fleet Readiness Center East recently observed a demonstration of a quicker, more efficient way to clean these parts for repair, using laser light to remove corrosion and coatings from containers and aircraft components. FRCE’s Advanced Technology and Innovation Team and Materials Engineering Division have been working for some time to bring laser ablation technology to the facility, because the laser system i...
