Application and prospect of laser rust removal technology in shipbuilding industry

In today’s more and more mature laser processing technology and process, laser cleaning technology has gradually penetrated into various industrial fields, of which laser rust removal technology in the shipbuilding industry has shown a rising trend.

In the course of a ship’s long time at sea, the surface of the hull will be eroded by many factors such as seawater, salt and microorganisms, resulting in rust phenomenon. Although the traditional rust removal methods such as sandblasting and chemical cleaning can remove rust to a certain extent, there are often problems such as low efficiency, environmental pollution, and secondary damage to the hull surface. Laser rust removal technology has gradually become a new choice for ship rust removal due to its advantages of high efficiency, environmental protection and non-destructive.

At present, laser rust removal technology has been widely used in all aspects of the shipbuilding industry, including hull surface rust removal, ship internal equipment rust removal, ship maintenance and transformation. Through the precise control of the laser beam, the laser rust removal technology can quickly remove the rust layer on the surface of the hull, while not causing damage to the substrate, ensuring the structural integrity and service life of the hull. In addition, there is no need to use chemical reagents in the laser rust removal process, which reduces environmental pollution and meets the requirements of modern industrial green development.

Advantages of laser rust removal technology in shipbuilding industry

1. High efficiency: laser rust removal technology can quickly concentrate energy, quickly vaporize and remove surface rust and pollutants, greatly improving the efficiency of rust removal.

2. Environmental protection: The laser rust removal process does not use chemical reagents, does not produce chemical waste or pollutants, reducing the impact on the environment. At the same time, the removed rust and pollutants can be recovered through the dust suction device to prevent secondary pollution.

3. Non-destructive: laser rust removal technology can precisely control the energy and position of the laser beam to ensure that the removal of rust will not cause damage to the substrate, ensuring the structural integrity and service life of the hull.

4. Safety: Compared with traditional sandblasting cleaning, the dust and noise in the process of laser rust removal are less, and the working environment is safer. At the same time, the laser equipment can be operated remotely, reducing the chance of direct contact with hazardous areas.

The future development prospect of laser rust removal technology in shipbuilding industry

With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness and the continuous development of Marine manufacturing technology, laser rust removal technology will continue to develop in the direction of high precision, high efficiency and intelligence, and provide more high-quality and efficient rust removal solutions for the Marine manufacturing industry.
