Abstract:Abstract:The paper presents a part of the larger study on microstructural features of mortars and their effects on laser cleaning process. It focuses on presenting the results of investigation on the influence of laser cleaning on chemical composition of mortar surfaces. The experimental results prove that the laser cleaning process leads to an increase of Si element concentration and/or decrease in Ca concentration. The observed alterations should be associated with changes in the relative distribution of mel… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
