Innovative Application of Laser Cleaning in Emerging Industries
Oct 24, 2024As an efficient and environmentally friendly surface treatment technology, laser cleaning technology is showing its unique advantages and application potential in more and more emerging industries. In recent years, it has been innovatively applied in emerging industries such as new energy vehicles, 3D printing, aerospace, and cultural relics protection.
New Energy Vehicle Industry
In the field of new energy vehicles, laser cleaning technology is becoming one of the key technologies for battery manufacturing and electric vehicle maintenance. The core component of new energy vehicles, power batteries, requires strict control of the presence of impurities and pollutants during its manufacturing process to ensure the performance and safety of the battery. Laser cleaning technology can efficiently remove oil stains, metal debris and other pollutants on the surface of battery poles, shells and other components, improve the cleanliness and consistency of the battery, and thus improve the energy density and cycle life of the battery. In addition, during the repair and maintenance of electric vehicles, laser cleaning technology can also be used to remove dirt and carbon deposits on the surface of components such as motors and controllers, and improve heat dissipation performance and operating efficiency.
3D Printing Industry
As a revolutionary breakthrough in the manufacturing industry, 3D printing technology is being applied in more and more fields. However, the removal of powder residues and support structures generated during 3D printing has always been one of the bottlenecks restricting its development. Laser cleaning technology can accurately remove powder residues and support structures on the surface of 3D printed parts without causing damage to the printed parts themselves, thus improving the accuracy and surface quality of the printed parts. In addition, laser cleaning can also be used for the pretreatment of 3D printed materials, removing oxides and contaminants on the surface of materials, and improving the bonding strength and performance of printed parts.
Aerospace industry
The aerospace field has extremely high requirements for the high performance and cleanliness of materials. Laser cleaning technology can efficiently remove oil, rust, coating and other contaminants on the surfaces and parts of aircraft, rockets and other aerospace vehicles, improve the cleanliness and accuracy of the surface, and ensure the safety and stability of flight. In addition, laser cleaning can also be used for the repair and maintenance of aerospace vehicles, remove surface damage and corrosion, and extend the service life. In the manufacturing process of aerospace vehicles, laser cleaning technology can also be used to remove spatter and burrs generated by welding, cutting and other processes, and improve manufacturing quality and efficiency.
Cultural relics protection industry
Cultural relics protection is an important task in inheriting historical culture. Traditional cultural relics protection methods often have problems such as complex operation, low efficiency, and easy damage to cultural relics. Laser cleaning technology, with its non-contact, high precision and environmental protection characteristics, has shown great application potential in the field of cultural relics protection. Laser cleaning can accurately remove pollutants such as dirt, rust and coating on the surface of cultural relics without damaging the cultural relics themselves, preserving the original appearance and historical information of the cultural relics. In addition, laser cleaning can also be used for the repair and reinforcement of cultural relics to improve the stability and durability of cultural relics.
With the continuous advancement of technology and the reduction of costs, the innovative application of laser cleaning technology in emerging industries has not only improved production efficiency and quality, but also promoted the sustainable development of related industries.
