Abstract

This paper looks into the effects of salient factors associated with laser cutting of intricate profiles so as to minimise defects arising from improper process parameter settings. A set of experimental tests were conducted on two representative steels, and corresponding data obtained from cutting with a CO₂ laser beam in continuous wave mode at power settings of 400 and 600 W. The paper also touches on the effects of pulsed laser delivery.
