Metals are widely used in industrial fields, and various metal materials can be seen in our lives almost everywhere. However, if the metal is exposed to the air for a long time, it will inevitably rust. Metal rust removal has become a major problem that must be faced in the application of metals. Traditional metal rust removal methods include:
1. Manual rust removal method: use scraper, hand hammer, steel brush, grinding wheel and other tools to knock, shovel, grind, scrape, etc. to remove rust stains.
Disadvantages: low rust removal efficiency, harsh operating environment, high labor intensity, generally only loose rust and old coatings can be removed, nor can all oxide skin be removed.
2. Mechanical rust removal method: use portable electric grinding wheels, electric brushes, wind brushes, rust removal guns, etc. to effectively remove rust and its dirt by impact and friction. The two most widely used methods are spraying and shot blasting.
Disadvantages: The environment is highly polluted.
3. Chemical treatment method: The acid solution is chemically reacted with the rust (oxide) on the surface of the metal to be cleaned, causing it to dissolve in the acid solution. In addition, the hydrogen generated by the acid and the metal interacts to mechanically remove the oxide skin.
Disadvantages: The chemical immersion method involves immersing the workpiece in a solution, so this method cannot be used for the rust removal of some large structures and equipment; it may corrode the metal substrate.
Compared with traditional rust removal methods, laser cleaning has high efficiency, good effect, and does not damage the substrate, making it the darling of metal rust removal.
The laser cleaning equipment launched by Shengtong Intelligent Laser is a new generation of high-tech products for surface cleaning. It has the advantages of easy control, easy automation and integration, no need for chemical reagents, good surface cleaning, high cleaning cleanliness, and high precision. It is efficient and environmentally friendly, safe and reliable, and has almost no damage to the surface of the substrate. It can solve a variety of problems that cannot be solved by traditional cleaning.
Equipment features:
Lightweight design, integrated integration, easy to carry to any work area, to achieve the target selection positioning cleaning; non-contact cleaning work, no damage to the substrate, no pollution, no need for follow-up treatment.
Efficient, fast, and low-cost, the thermal and mechanical loads on the substrate are small, and the cleaning is non-damaging; safe and reliable, without harming the health of the operator; easy to achieve automated control.
It can move freely, is easy to automate, can be combined with numerical control technology, and can also realize selective automatic scanning; strong cleaning ability; safe and reliable, does not damage the health of the operator, etc., and realizes remote control cleaning.
