Which Metal Materials Can Be Cut With A Metal Laser Cutting Machine

Metal laser cutting machine with cutting speed and intelligent cutting conditions, become the first choice for metal processing, then it is not suitable for all metal materials, the following to analyze the metal laser cutting machine is suitable for cutting which materials.

1.Carbon steel

Metal laser cutting machine laser power size is different, cutting carbon steel plate thickness is also different, the use of new laser technology, beam quality is good, small slit, and the cutting surface is smooth, cutting carbon steel plate below 5mm only need to blow air without blowing oxygen, saving the use of oxygen costs.

2.Stainless steel

Laser cutting on the use of stainless steel sheet as the main component of the manufacturing industry is an effective cutting tool. Heat-affected zone is small, which is very effective in maintaining the good corrosion resistance of such materials.

3.Alloy steel

Basic alloy structural steel and alloy tool steel can be laser cutting method to obtain good cutting edge effect. Even some high-strength materials, as long as the cutting parameters are properly controlled, you can get a straight, non-stick slag cutting edge.

4.Aluminum and alloys

Aluminum cutting belongs to the melting cutting mechanism, the auxiliary gas used is mainly used to blow away the molten products from the cutting area, with better cut surface quality. For other aluminum alloy materials, attention should be paid to preventing micro-cracks in the cut.

5.Copper and alloys

Pure copper (copper) due to too high reflectivity, basically can not use CO2 laser beam cutting. Brass (copper alloy) using higher laser power, the auxiliary gas using air or oxygen, you can cut thinner plates.

6.Titanium and alloys

Pure titanium can be well coupled to focus the laser beam into thermal energy, auxiliary gas using oxygen when the chemical reaction is intense, faster cutting speed, but easy to generate an oxide layer at the cutting edge, careless will also cause overcooking. To be on the safe side, the use of air as an auxiliary gas is better to ensure the cutting quality. Aircraft manufacturing industry commonly used titanium alloy laser cutting quality is better, although the bottom of the slit will have a little slag, but it is easy to remove.
