Stepwise Removal Process Analysis Based on Layered Corrosion Oxides

The parts of engineering machinery quickly generate rusty oxides in the working process, which seriously affects their service life and safety. How to remove oxides efficiently without damaging the surface of the matrix is a crucial problem. This paper analyzes the critical laser parameters that affect the distribution of material temperature field, which determines the ablation depth of different oxides, by using the central composite experimental design method and taking the surface-ablation depth of Fe₂O₃ and Fe₃O₄ before and after laser cleaning as response variables to establish the prediction model of single removal volume with the help of Comsol Multiphysics software. The results show a positive correlation between ablation depth and peak power density and a negative correlation with scanning speed. In this process, the experimental results show that the prediction model is natural and effective. A flow chart of laser stepwise cleaning of layered corroded oxides can provide theoretical guidance for the laser cleaning of engineering machinery.
