What is Oxide Layer?

An oxide layer is a thin film formed on the surface of a metal when it reacts with oxygen in the environment. This reaction can occur naturally or through controlled treatment processes. The oxide layer serves as a chemical boundary between the metal and the surrounding atmosphere.

The oxide layer typically has a dense or partially porous structure, depending on the metal and reaction conditions. A dense oxide layer tightly adheres to the metal surface and prevents further penetration of oxygen and moisture, thereby slowing or stopping corrosion. In contrast, porous oxide layers allow continuous diffusion of oxygen and water, enabling corrosion to progress deeper into the metal.

The Harm of Rust

Negative effect:

  1. If the oxide layer is not removed before welding, electroplating, or bonding, it will negatively affect the quality of the joint.
  2. It may also lead to poor conductivity, weak soldering, or unstable electrical contact (as commonly seen in the processing of copper foils for new energy batteries).

Product Features

  • Laser Cleaning Machine Solution

    Our Laser Cleaning Machines offer an efficient, non-contact, and environmentally friendly solution for removing rust, oxide layers, paint, coatings, grease, and surface residues from metals and industrial equipment. Designed for precision and flexibility, these machines are ideal for applications across automotive, aerospace, electronics, petrochemical, and manufacturing industries.

    Featuring fiber laser sources from 100W to 2000W, our models deliver high-speed cleaning, stable beam quality, and low maintenance. From handheld portable units to integrated robotic cleaning systems, we support custom designs tailored to your specific cleaning tasks—whether it’s fine weld cleaning, large-area paint removal, or surface preparation before coating

  • Pulsed laser cleaning uses high-energy laser pulses to irradiate the metal surface, instantly vaporizing or ablating the oxide layer without damaging the underlying substrate. Unlike traditional mechanical or chemical cleaning methods, laser cleaning is non-contact, requires no consumables, and produces no secondary pollution.

    The system delivers precise and selective cleaning even in small areas or complex surfaces. Thanks to its low thermal impact, it preserves the physical properties of the base material, making it ideal for pre-welding, plating, or bonding processes where oxide layers must be thoroughly removed to ensure strong adhesion and optimal conductivity.

Laser Cleaning Machine VS Traditional Cleaning Solution

Rust removal is critical in metal maintenance, repair, and surface treatment. While traditional rust removal methods remain widely used, laser cleaning technology is quickly emerging as a safer, more efficient, and eco-friendly alternative. Below is a comparison of laser rust removal and conventional methods, categorized by their working principles.

Feature Laser Rust Removal Traditional Methods
Contact Type Non-contact, no tool wear Physical or chemical contact
Base Material Damage Minimal, especially with pulsed lasers High risk of surface damage or pitting
Precision High (suitable for delicate parts) Low (broad impact area)
Environmental Impact No chemicals or waste Generates hazardous waste or dust
Operation Cost Higher initial investment, low maintenance Low initial cost, high recurring costs
Automation Integration Easy to integrate into CNC/robot systems Difficult to automate
Noise & Safety Low noise, safer working environment Loud, requires protective measures
