An Organic Double-Layer Coating on Aluminum and Steel Substrates for Anti-Laser Protection

Abstract:

In this work, an organic double-layer protective coating (ODC) was fabricated through a simple spray process on aluminum and steel. The coating is built as double-layer structure of heat resist base layer and reflective surface layer. Laser with power 10³~10⁴ Wcm^-2 was set to ablate samples for 4s, while the temperature of panels’ back were being measured. Also, reflectivity of the coating was tested. Results demonstrated that reflectivity of ODC was up to 94%, and the panels were less apt to be ablated by laser radiation after coated, while the temperatures measured were substantially lower compared to blank panels with respect to the coating structure and composition.
