Abstract:
Laser derusting technology is a new and green rust removing method. For some low carbon steel in an environment prone to rust, traditional rust removing method can be replaced by laser derusting technology, which has broad prospects. The corrosion surface of the laser radiation has the characteristics of high laser energy and short pulse, so that the corrosion temperature quickly reaches above the melting point. But at the same time of laser rust removal, there will be some laser directly through the rust layer, and the laser radiation on the corrosion surface will also transfer part of the energy to the metal substrate surface through heat conduction. By means of experimental analysis on the surface of the metal base, microstructure, mechanical properties and hardness were studied and compared. The results show that the laser derusting process has a good rust removal effect, laser derusting technology does not damage to the metal substrates and the properties of the surface has not been affected.
