Advantages --- Why was there a need for a cleaning process using a laser?

As mentioned, there were other forms of cleaning process available to industries, such as dry-ice blasting, media blasting or cleaning using chemical solvents, which were perfectly adequate at completing the job at hand. The problem was that these processes came with many unwanted side effects too.

The biggest problem with these methods is that they are abrasive and potentially hazardous. Not only does this have environmental issues, but it also has safety issues too, as a significant amount of potentially harmful waste is often created from one of these more traditional cleaning methods.

The specific problems with the other three types of cleaning processes are:

• Cleaning with chemical solvents – A high amount of waste is created that needs to be disposed of safely. This waste consists of hazardous solvents that have been mixed with residue, and the vapours released can be dangerous to humans, hence the operator requires protection
• Cleaning using media blasting – Highly abrasive to substrates, and so can’t be used on delicate surfaces. It also produces a high level of waste in the form of blasting media such as sand or plastic, that also needs to be disposed of
• Cleaning using dry-ice blasting – Not efficient at cleaning delicate surfaces, and a noisy process. Also, potentially hazardous to

Furthermore, both dry-ice blasting and chemical cleaning have low levels of automation, making them a process for which the user has to get heavily involved. Media blasting is slightly different, having a medium to high level of automation.

How is laser cleaning different?

Laser cleaning looked to solve the problems presented by other processes, and it has managed to do this to a large degree. Perhaps the biggest difference with using a laser to other processes is that it is a non-contact and non-abrasive process. Only the laser light will actually be touching and working with the surface of the material, and this heated energy essentially blasts off the material from the surface layer.

This process can be repeated until the correct level of ablation depth has been reached, and fiber lasers, in particular, offer a great level of control to their users. This means that the desired depth can be achieved with a high degree of accuracy, on metal surfaces such as clearing rust for example.

While the final result is similar to the other cleaning processes, the way in which the actual operation is completed is what makes laser cleaning different.
