Laser Depaint Technology for Aerospace Applications.

摘要

Overview: Problem Statement, Air Force Laser Depaint Program, Current laser Depaint Technologies, Future Laser Depaint Technologies and Summary. Problem Statement: US Air Force operates three Air Logistics Centers for depot maintenance of aircraft. Coatings removal operations are performed extensively as part of this maintenance. Current methods are time consuming processes that create hazardous waste and emissions as well as require large quantities of rinse water. Program Goal: Establish and expand the use of laser technology as a viable alternative technology for depot maintenance operations.
