Although almost all metal materials have high reflectivity to infrare wave energy at room temperature,
metal lasers that emit 10.6um beams in the far-infrary band are still successfully apply to many metal laser cutting machines.
1. Carbon steel.
Modern laser cutting systems can cut carbon steel plates with a maximum thickness of up to 50mm.
The cutting seam of carbon steel can be controll within a satisfactory width by using the oxidation melting cutting mechanism,
so the cutting seam for thin plates can be as narrow as about 0.1mm.
2, stainless steel
Laser cutting is an effective processing tool for the manufacturing industry that uses stainless steel sheet as the main component.
Under strict control of the heat input in the laser cutting process, the heat-affect zone of the trimming can restrict from becoming small,
so effectively maintaining the good corrosion resistance of such materials.
3, alloy steel
Most alloy structural steels and alloy tool steels can use to obtain good trimming quality by laser cutting.
Even for some high-strength materials, as long as the process parameters are properly controll, straight, non-sticky slag cutting edges can obtain.
However, for tungsten-containing high-speed tool steel and hot die steel, there will erosion and slag sticking during laser cutting.
4, aluminum and alloys
Aluminum cutting is a melting and cutting mechanism, so the auxiliary gas use is mainly use to blow away the molten product from the cutting area,
and so usually a better cut surface quality can be obtain.
For some aluminum alloys, attention should be paid to prevent the occurrence of intercrystalline micro-cracks on the surface of the slit.
