Laser cleaning machines are widely used in the industrial sheet metal processing industry and can be found almost everywhere. However, metal corrosion can easily cause significant losses. According to statistics, annual scraping of steel equipment and materials due to rust is equivalent to approximately 30% of steel production. The annual losses in my country due to rust can reach over 100 billion yuan. Therefore, metal rust removal has become a major challenge that the metal industry must address. Below, Lingxiu Laser explains how to remove metal rust.
Traditional Metal Rust Removal Methods
1. Manual Rust Removal: Rust is removed by hammering, scraping, grinding, and scraping with tools such as scrapers, hammers, steel brushes, and grinding wheels. Disadvantages: Low rust removal efficiency, harsh working conditions, and high labor intensity. Generally, only loose rust and deteriorated coatings can be removed, and all scale cannot be completely removed.
2. Mechanical Rust Removal: Handheld electric grinding wheels, electric brushes, pneumatic brushes, and rust removal guns are used to effectively remove rust and other contaminants through impact and friction. Blasting and shot blasting are the most widely used methods. Disadvantages: Severe environmental pollution.
3. Chemical treatment: Acidic solution reacts chemically with rust (oxides) on the metal surface being cleaned, dissolving them in the acid. Furthermore, the hydrogen generated by the acid-metal reaction mechanically removes the oxide scale. Disadvantages: Chemical immersion requires immersing the workpiece in a solution, making it unsuitable for rust removal on large structures and equipment. It may also corrode the metal substrate. Compared to traditional rust removal methods, laser cleaning offers high efficiency and virtually no damage to the substrate, making it a rising star in metal rust removal.
Laser cleaning equipment is a new generation of high-tech, intelligent surface cleaning products, capable of chemical-free, media-free, dust-free, and water-free cleaning. It features autofocus and boasts high surface cleanliness, capable of removing resin, oil, stains, dirt, rust, coatings, plating, and paint from surfaces. It is easy to install, and software mode parameters can be customized and saved for greater convenience.
