Suitable metal materials for fiber laser cutting machines:

1. Stainless steel: Laser cutting is easier to cut stainless steel sheets.

Using a high-power YAG laser cutting system, the maximum thickness of stainless steel cutting can reach 4mm. Our low-power YAG laser cutting system can cut stainless steel with a thickness of up to 4mm.

2. Alloy steel: Most alloy steel can be cut with laser, and the cutting quality is good. However, tool steel and hot mold steel with high tungsten content may experience melting corrosion and slag sticking during laser cutting.

3. Carbon steel: Modern laser cutting systems can cut carbon steel plates with a maximum thickness of nearly 20mm, and the cutting seam of thin plates can be narrowed to about 0.1mm. Laser cutting low-carbon steel has a very small Heat-affected zone, and the cut joint is flat, smooth, and good perpendicularity. For high carbon steel, the cutting quality of laser cutting is better than that of low carbon steel, but its Heat-affected zone is larger.

4. Aluminum and alloys: Aluminum cutting belongs to melting cutting, and the use of auxiliary gas to blow away the molten material in the cutting area can achieve good section quality. At present, the maximum thickness for cutting aluminum plates is 1.5mm.

5. Other metal materials: Copper is not suitable for laser cutting, as it cuts very thin.

6. Non metallic materials: Laser can cut organic materials such as plastics (polymers), rubber, wood, paper products, leather, and natural and synthetic fabrics; At the same time, it can also cut inorganic materials such as quartz and ceramics, as well as new lightweight reinforced fiber polymers and other composite materials.
