To improve the laser cleaning surface quality of rust layers in Q390 steel, a method of determining the optimal cleaning parameters is proposed that is based on response surface methodology and the second-generation non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). It involves constructing a mathematical model of the input variables (laser power, cleaning speed, scanning speed, and repetition frequency) and the objective values (surface oxygen content, rust layer removal rate, and surface roughness). The effects of the laser cleaning process parameters on the cleaning surface quality were ana...
