Laser Corrosion Removal Machines

Abstract

The U.S. Coast Guard is required by statute to respond to missions that occur in or on the seas, navigable waterways, and their tributaries. The equipment needed for these missions has to be ready and functional. Equipment surfaces and internals are often required to be refurbished to remove corrosion and other materials because they are subjected to sea water. The present corrosion removal method is to blast with media (either walnut husks or sand).
