how do you remove rust with a laser?

488 views

Recently, I’ve seen several rust removal videos. At first I thought laser sort of “scraped off” the rust, but looking closely, I see no rust being blown away or rust powder left on the table where they perform such removal. What is really happening? Does the laser gets evaporated in the air? Or is it being “melt”? I’m curious. Cheers!

The rust and dirt get straight up atomised by the laser and escape into the air. It is honestly that straightforward.

The only trick is that the laser energy and wavelength is specifically tuned to remove the plaque without also damaging the fresh metal underneath.
