Abstract:
This study provides details of the use of laser as an alternative method to the conventional ones to remove (20) μm thickness of polyester paint from EN AW - 5005A Aluminum alloy, the laser paint stripping process performed by ytterbium fiber laser with a wavelength (1064) nm .Sets of experiments curried out in order to reach to the most suitable parameters for the process, at the first set different levels of energies used from 0.0425 mJ to 1.12 mJ, nine lines of holes accomplished by laser. The holes diameters and the depth at each energy measured in this experiment. At two different pulse repetition rates (20, 50) KHz two sets of experiments done. At the first set the effect of laser energy (0.1565, 0.73, 1.12)mJ also the overlap percent (25%, 50%, 75%) have been studied at five number of passes, the parameters of the process settled by the overlap equations, the effect of the overlap percent on the total time of machining and the material removal rate at different levels of energy also investigated, it’s found that the best energy to work with is 0.1565mJ with one and two passes.The second set of experiments done at 0.1565mJ with a wider range of overlap percent from 25% to 75% increase by five. The removal depth and the behavior of surface roughness determined by Focus Variation Microscopy (FVM) also Scanning Electron Microscope used to analyze the radiated area. It’s found that the best results obtained at 50 % overlap when the laser passes one time on the material.Laser Induced Breakdown Spectrometer (LIBS) used as a method for monitoring and controlling the paint stripping process in order to accomplish the process and ablate only the paint layer without ablating the substrate, for the paint and the substrate (LIBS) spectrum obtained and used to distinguish between the paint layer and the Aluminum substrate.
