Then, the mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and metallographic microstructure of the surface of samples after laser cleaning were analyzed. The experimental results show that when the processing parameters were the laser power of 40 W, the repetition rate of 110 kHz, and the spot overlap of 50%, the rust removal effect on AH36 steel was the best, and it met the cleanliness standard of marine steel coating. Moreover, its Vickers hardness, mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and repainting properties were superior to those of the original substrate.
