41chevy Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Extremely interesting process,but at this time pricey, but does have a good spot in restoration of parts made from unobtainium.

kscarbel2 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 This Hand-Held Laser Makes Rust Literally Evaporate Car & Driver / August 31, 2016 Rust is the bane of any mechanic. If you work on your car—whether it’s a beloved classic or just your daily driver—you’ve probably stared at stubborn, inevitable corrosion and wished you could banish it with the wave of a magic wand. Sadly, magic wands aren’t real. But this hand-held, 1000-watt laser that blasts away rust, paint, and any other coating, revealing virgin bare metal in seconds is real. Yes. A frickin’ laser. This device is called the P-Laser QF-1000. Like its rigid-mounted counterparts, the hand-held instrument is meant for industrial applications, like preparing metal for robotic welding or removing residue from manufacturing molds. As such, it’s very expensive: P-Laser told us that a low-power QF-50, with only 50 watts of muscle, costs €47,800, or more than $53,000 at today’s exchange rate. We assume that’s outside your tool budget. How does it work? A P-Laser spokesperson explained that the system uses short pulses of laser light. When aimed at a metal surface, “the dirt layer and any oxides underneath will absorb the energy and evaporate.” The metal underneath will not absorb the laser energy, leaving nothing but a clean surface ready for welding or painting. We know what you’re thinking, and the answer is no: This thing won’t vaporize human flesh. Amazingly, aiming this laser blaster at your finger doesn’t even hurt at all. . .

Vladislav Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Ufff... Looks like something new. Hope it will get wide use in the nearest future if really brings multiple advantages. And as a follow the cost drop. We'll see.
