The application of laser cutting machine is more and more extensive, and the applicable materials are more and more. But different materials have different characteristics, so the matters needing attention when using the laser cutting machine are also different. The following is a simple analysis of the main materials when using laser cutting:

Structural steel:

Better results will be obtained when this material is cut with oxygen. When oxygen is used as the processing gas, the cutting edge will be slightly oxidized. For plates with a thickness of 4mm, nitrogen can be used as the processing gas for cutting.

stainless steel:

Oxygen is needed when cutting stainless steel. If the edge oxidation is not a problem, nitrogen is used to obtain a non-oxidized and burr-free edge without additional treatment.

aluminum

Despite its high reflectivity and thermal conductivity, aluminum with a thickness of 6mm or less can be cut, depending on the alloy type and the capabilities of the laser.

titanium

The titanium sheet is cut with argon and nitrogen as the processing gas. Synthetic material

Organic matter

There is a fire hazard in all organic cutting (nitrogen is used as the processing gas, and compressed air can also be used as the processing gas). Wood, leather, cardboard and paper can be laser cut, but the cut edges will be burnt
