Striation free fibre laser cutting of mild steel sheets.
Striation free laser cutting of mild steel sheets.
Striation free laser cuts are demonstrated when cutting 1 mm thick mild steel sheets.
Striation free laser cuts are demonstrated when cutting 1 mm thick mild steel sheets.
High power laser cutting is extensively used in many industrial applications.
It is hoped that this work will enhance the understanding of striation formation mechanism so that the striation free laser cutting technique can be applied to other materials and laser systems.
Laser cutting experiments were conducted using a 1 kw continuous wave cw ipg ylr 1000 sm ytterbium single mode fibre laser with 1 07 pm wavelength a tem 00 beam.
This paper reports an investigation into achieving striation free laser cutting of en43 mild steel sheets of 2 mm thickness.
An important weakness of this process is the formation of striations i e.
A 1 kw single mode fibre laser was used in this work.
This study presents the initial results of a laser cutting study using a 1 kw single mode fibre laser a relative newcomer in the field of laser metal cutting.
