Where does the rust go? Does it evaporate? Or does the laser turn it back into unrusted iron? Someone explain this to a guy who was bad at science in school

A quick google search told me it is turned into a gas through either vaporization or sublimation so yeah it essentially evaporates the solid debris materials.

so yeah it essentially evaporates

It doesn't because solids don't evaporate. Sublimation =/= evaporation.

That’s why I said essentially evaporates, to simplify it like the original commenter asked somebody to.
