Ceramic　particulate　reinforced　metal　matrix　composites　is　a　promising　material,　but　it　is　difficult　to　be　machined.　Pulsed　laser　processing　as　a　advanced　technique　is　widely　used　in　material　processing,　but　the　pulsed　laser　processing　of　particulate　reinforced　metal　matrix　composites　is　not　sufficiently　studied.　In　this　work,　scanning　ablation　of　SiC　particulate　reinforced　aluminum　metal　matrix　(SiCp/AA2024)　composites　was　conducted　using　a　nanosecond　laser.　An　innovative　jump　ablation　method　was　proposed,　and　the　composites　processing　by　jump　ablation　and　common　ablation　were　compared.　Both　plasma＇s　and　nanosecond　laser　ablation　mechanism＇s　ef-fects　on　ablation　were　analyzed.　In　contrast　to　common　ablation,　jump　ablation　can　effectively　increase　the　ablation　depth　and　rate.　At　an　SOR　of　95%,　the　ablation　depth　was　39　mu　m　and　99　mu　m　in　common　and　jump　ablation　respectively,　and　the　increasement　was　nearly　150%.　Meanwhile,　The　matrix　and　reinforcement　phases　on　the　composites＇　ablated　surface　after　jump　ablation　exhibited　relatively　independent　distribution,　while　the　recast　layer　was　thinner　and　less　oxidized　than　that　produced　by　common　ablation.
