Laser cutting machine should pay attention to when cutting different materials

Laser cutting machine is more and more widely used, and more and more materials are used. But different materials have different characteristics, so there are different points to be paid attention to when using laser cutting machine. The following is a brief analysis of the main materials used in laser cutting:

Structural steel:

When the material is cut with oxygen, good results will be obtained. When oxygen is used as the processing gas, the cutting edge will be slightly oxidized. For plate thickness up to 4mm, nitrogen can be used for cutting.

Stainless steel:

When cutting stainless steel, oxygen is needed. When the edge oxidation is unimportant, nitrogen is used to get the edge free of oxidation and burr, no additional treatment is needed.

aluminum

In spite of its high reflectivity and thermal conductivity, aluminum with a thickness of less than 6mm can be cut, depending on the alloy type and the ability of the laser.

titanium

Titanium plate is cut with argon and nitrogen as processing gas. Synthetic material

Organic compound

There is a risk of ignition in all organic cutting (nitrogen can be used as processing gas, compressed air can also be used as processing gas). Wood, leather, cardboard and paper can be cut by laser, but the cutting edge will burn leapion
