A Laser Manufacturing Process for Stripping of Paint Coatings

铅基涂料通常用于钢衬底上，用于不透明度、反应性、耐久性、润滑性和防腐目的。去除这种涂料的传统喷砂方法会导致严重的环境问题和相关的处置成本。这项研究旨在建立一种替代技术，即考虑到最低成本、污染和危害的激光脱漆系统。将研究激光与涂料之间的基本相互作用，如烧蚀、层裂和蒸发机制。

Lead-based paints are commonly used on steel substrates for opacity, reactivity, durability, lubrication, and corrosion protection purposes. Conventional sand blasting methods for removal of such paint coatings result in significant environmental problems and associated disposal costs. This research is directed toward establishment of an alternative technique namely a laser system for paint removal with considerations of minimum cost, pollution and hazards. Fundamental interactions between the laser beam and the paint will be investigated, such as ablation, spallation,and evaporation mechanisms.
