1. Wear Protective Gear: Put on necessary protective equipment such as safety goggles, gloves, and a face mask.
2. Prepare the Work Area: Clear flammable materials from the work area and ensure there are no reflective surfaces.
3. Set up the Laser Rust Removal Machine: Connect the laser rust removal machine to a stable power source and ground it properly. Adjust laser settings, such as power intensity, pulse frequency, and pulse duration, as needed.
4. Position the Laser: Place the laser rust removal machine in the correct position, ensuring the laser beam aligns properly with the target surface.
5. Laser Operation: Target the rusted area with the laser beam, moving slowly and steadily across the surface while maintaining a consistent distance between the laser head and the workpiece.
6. Cleaning Process: Monitor the rust removal process closely; the laser will vaporize rust and oxide layers, and debris will be removed through a connected vacuum or compressed air system. Ensure effective rust removal without damaging the underlying material. Adjust laser parameters accordingly based on cleaning progress.
7. Repeat the Action: Depending on the severity of rusting, it may be necessary to repeat the laser rust removal process multiple times, taking breaks to prevent surface overheating.
8. Post-processing: After rust removal, carefully inspect the surface for any remaining rust or pits. Perform necessary cleaning or treatments to restore surface integrity.
