Abstract: The article presents the results of modeling and numerical calculations of processes of laser removal of paints from the surface of metal parts. Theoretical studies of temperature fields in the area of processing by scanning laser radiation are presented, allowing practical tests to be carried out and the conditions under which the radioactive effect of the laser radiation causes minimal damage to thin-walled structures to be developed. The results obtained are reflected in the technology for cleaning of aircraft.

Keywords: laser cleaning, laser ablation, thin-walled structures, numerical modeling, temperature fields, laser radiation, aircraft.
