Laser cleaning of technical materials

This thesis deals with the issue of the effect of laser cleaning on the surface of the base material, respectively on its surface texture. The theoretical part of the thesis is focused on the characteristics of laser technologies, an overview of surface cleaning methods in the field of mechanical engineering and the introduction of the company ŽLUTÉ LASERY s.r.o., that helped to create and process the assigned topic. In the practical part focused on the experiment is discussed the choice of materials, production of samples, selection of types of impurities and their application to designated areas. The main part is a description of the laser cleaning process, roughness measurement and statistical evaluation of the investigated surface roughness parameters (Ra, Rz, Rp, Rv, RSm, RPc, Sa, Sz, Sp, Sv, Spd and Spc). In the end, the processed results are evaluated and presented
