Laser cleaning has been an effective tool in manufacturing and industrial applications for over 20 years. Cleaning, as well as cutting and welding, has shown vast improvements in repeatability and precision with the use of laser technology [4]. Previous bonding techniques such as mechanical fixturing and welding can be inconsistent and cause issues like increased structural weight, decreased structural integrity, galvanic corrosion, and many more potential failures [5]. Laser cleaning may propose a viable option for adhering materials to reduce weight and increase repeatability. Welding practices continue to develop to reduce both weld thickness and porosity. Porosity in welds is typically caused from failure to prepare the surface adequately [1]. Failures in both welding applications and adhesive bonding applications can be reduced with the use of laser technology.
