Weapons and equipment are inevitably possessed by mud in military tasks such as usual training and exercises. Even if it is left unused, dust will accumulate for a long time. Usually when something gets dirty, the first thing I want to do is to flush it with tap water. But as a spoiled weapon and equipment, it may not be able to be cleaned in this way.
Equipped weapons are mostly ferrous parts, and generally cannot be cleaned directly with tap water, but they must not be washed. Weapons and equipment are the second life of a soldier, and they say that they should maintain more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime. The previous cleaning methods are more traditional, such as mechanical cleaning, chemical cleaning and ultrasonic cleaning.
Can laser cleaning technology clean weapons and equipment? Next-generation cleaning technology
With the development of science and technology, laser cleaning technology began to appear. The new technology mainly uses the characteristics of high power, high frequency and high energy of the laser, and uses the difference in the absorption capacity of the material to hit the laser on a small area on the surface of the object to be cleaned, so that the attachment or coating on the surface of the object evaporates instantaneously Or peel off.
So, what is the effect of applying this new technology to equipment? After actual measurement, this new technology can completely replace the previous method of cleaning equipment. And compared with traditional cleaning methods, laser cleaning has many advantages such as non-contact, no grinding, no thermal effect and wide applicability. It can efficiently and quickly remove rust and pollutants on the surface of the equipment, and it can further improve the strength and corrosion resistance of the metal surface. According to different settings, a dense oxide protective film or molten metal layer can be formed on the metal surface of the equipment. For fighters that need to be repainted, this new technology can also be used to completely remove the surface paint without damaging the surface metal, thereby extending the life of the fighter.
