Background:

Floating rust, a common iron corrosion product, has a porous structure and weak adhesion to metal substrates.
Laser energy can penetrate porous rust layers, potentially affecting the underlying iron substrate.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate simultaneous laser derusting and passivating of iron surfaces with floating rust.
To explore the mechanism of laser-induced rust removal and protective layer formation.

Main Methods:

Utilized a line-scanning laser method with a 50% overlapping ratio for uniform laser fluence distribution.
Applied laser irradiation to heat the iron surface to its melting point for controlled oxidation and surface modification.

Main Results:

Achieved simultaneous removal of floating rust and formation of a protective oxide layer on the iron substrate.
Demonstrated that controlled melting of the iron surface is crucial for complete oxidation and uniform surface properties.

Conclusions:

Laser treatment offers an effective method for simultaneous derusting and passivating of iron and steel.
Optimizing laser parameters, particularly surface temperature, is key to successful rust removal and protective layer formation.
