What Materials Can The Laser Cutting Machine Cut？

Laser cutting machines are no longer new equipment. In the field of industrial manufacturing, laser cutting machines are widely used in various industries, especially in metal processing, by virtue of their efficient and flexible processing advantages. Laser cutting machines have almost become a tool for processing manufacturers. It is often seen in the advertising industry. So what materials can the laser cutting machine cut? Let us briefly understand what materials the laser cutting machine can cut.

1. Carbon steel plate cutting:

Modern laser cutting system can cut the large thickness of carbon steel plate close to 20mm, and the slit of thin plate can be as narrow as about 0.1mm. Laser cutting of low carbon steel has extremely small heat-affected zone, and the cutting is flat and smooth, with good verticality. For high-carbon steel, the laser cutting edge quality is better than that of low-carbon steel, but its heat-affected zone is larger.

2. Stainless steel cutting:

Laser cutting is easier to cut stainless steel sheet. With the high-power YAG laser cutting system, the thickness of stainless steel can be cut up to 4mm.

3. Cutting of alloy steel plate:

Most alloy steels can be laser cut, and the cutting edge quality is good. However, tool steels and hot mold steels with high tungsten content will have corrosion and slag sticking during laser cutting.

4. Aluminum and alloy sheet cutting:

Aluminum cutting belongs to melting cutting, and auxiliary gas is added to blow away the molten material in the cutting area, and a better cut surface quality can be obtained. At present, the larger thickness of cut aluminum plates is 1.5mm.

5. Cutting other metal materials:

Copper material is not suitable for laser cutting, and the cut is very thin. Most of titanium, titanium alloy and nickel alloy can be cut by laser.
