Assessment of Decoating Strategies for Aerospace Structures

Removal of specialized coatings and paint from lightweight aircraft structures through laser ablation is very
promising and environmentally safe decoating process compared to existing methods such as chemical stripping.
However, research is needed to understand the effect of the laser process on the underlying materials. This
project will include an in-depth experimental study of the mechanical properties and the use of computer modelling
to predict these effects to improve future decoating processes.
