      Table 1. Advantages and disadvantages of derusting technology

      Rust removal technologyClassificationAdvantage and disadvantage
      Traditional derustingManual and mechanical grindingLow efficiency,difficult to reach the cleaning standard
      Chemical dissolutionLarge amount of solvent required,low cleaning efficiency,easy to cause environmental problems
      Ultrasonic cleaningRust removal efficiency is fast,but the cost is high,secondary treatment is required,and the noise is loud
      High pressure water gunEnvironmentally friendly and clean,but it will cause waste of water resources and noise pollution
      SandblastingDerusting effect is excellent,but it will affect the health of workers

      Research Method(Mechanism)ModelEffect
      Combined adhesive force and surface wave generated clearance forceMathematical models of three kinds of adhesion forces between particles and matrixInteraction between submicron particles and matrix was investigated for the first time,which provided the basis for the subsequent research
      From a one-dimensional model to a three-dimensional modelUnsteady three-dimensional model of particlesForces between particles are considered,providing an accurate model for smaller particle diameters
      Errors are considered on the basis of the existing modelDouble layer thermoelastic vibration modelCleaning and damage thresholds of the matrix were calculated
      Comparative study of experimental data and theoretical resultsNano laser dry cleaning modelNano-dry laser cleaning cannot be explained purely on the basis of an expansion model
      Comparative study of experimental data and theoretical resultsOne-dimensional model considering temperature-dependent absorption coefficient and multi-pulse damage based on plastic deformation accumulationExperimental damage threshold is consistent with the theory

      Laser cleaning technologyInstructionSchematic diagram
      Dry laser cleaningAdvantages:no need to pretreat the matrix,more convenientDisadvantages:the impact is small,and the removal effect of the stain is not ideal
      Steam laser cleaningAdvantages:the impact force is much stronger than dry cleaningDisadvantages:liquid film composition ratio is not accurate resulting in poor cleaning effect
      Laser shock wave cleaningAdvantages:high cleaning accuracy Disadvantages:cleaning conditions are difficult to control,affecting the cleaning effect
