LASER CLEANING PRIOR TO METALLIC COATING OF A SUBSTRATE
A method for treating a substrate prior to metallic coating includes the steps of providing a substrate having a surface to be coated and at least one contaminant selected from as-delivered organics and post-burn out oxides on the surface; treating the surface with a laser to remove the at least one...

Zusammenfassung: | A method for treating a substrate prior to metallic coating includes the steps of providing a substrate having a surface to be coated and at least one contaminant selected from as-delivered organics and post-burn out oxides on the surface; treating the surface with a laser to remove the at least one contaminant to produce a cleaned surface on the substrate; and applying a metallic coating to the cleaned surface. Grit blasting can be avoided, and reverse arc transfer cleaning is avoided or minimized, resulting in time savings and less stress on the substrate. |
