abstract = "A large number of metals and alloys are widely used in the defense industry, not only in weaponry and defense equipment, but also for communications equipment and infrastructure. These materials are often exposed to extreme condition: high or low temperatures, humidity, chemical agents, wear and so on. They have to have the ability to withstand corrosion, temperature extremes and wear. Different types of weapons and equipment require adequate maintenance and cleaning. As an efficient cleaning method, lasers are widely used in many areas for different type of materials. This paper presents the results of the laser cleaning effects on tarnished brass plate. Nd:YAG and Er:Glass lasers were used to clean the tarnish layer from surface. Effects on the laser irradiated zones were investigated by optical and SEM microscopy and EDX analysis. Also surface's profile roughness and surface hardness were measured. Some parameters for successfully and safely cleaning of brass surface without degrading the surrounding material were determined.",
