Abstract

The paper presents influence of laser radiation parameters on velocity of encrustation removal from artworks and heritage architectural objects. The influence of laser fluence and pulsewidth on the velocity of graphite removal from aluminium substrate is discussed on the basis of developed numerical model. Selected experimental results of influence of laser wavelength and fluence on velocity of encrustation removal for different heritage objects are given as well as remarks on laser cleaning process are presented.
