Abstract

Femtosecond and nanosecond laser ablation and delamination of anodic oxide layers on an aluminium alloy were investigated. Laser wavelengths of 800 nm (125 fs pulse duration) and 532 nm (7 ns), respectively, and two oxide layers with thicknesses of 70 micrometers (opaque) and 30 micrometers (transparent) were considered. Laser-induced shock waves measured by means of a microphone provided an in-situ diagnostic tool for the monitoring of the coating removal process. The transparent anodic oxides showed contrasting ablation mechanisms in the nanosecond and femtosecond pulse duration regime. Nanosecond pulses led to spallation, whereas femtosecond treatment resulted in ablation.
