Laser cutting machines are becoming more and more widely used and more and more materials are available for use. However, different materials have different properties and therefore different things need to be kept in mind when using a laser cutting machine. The following is a brief analysis of the main materials used in laser cutting:

  1, structural steel:

  Good results have been obtained when cutting materials with oxygen. When oxygen is used as a processing gas, the cutting edge is slightly oxidized. For plates up to 4 mm thick, nitrogen can be used as a process gas for cutting.

  2. Stainless steel:

  Oxygen is required to cut stainless steel, and nitrogen is used to obtain an oxidation-free burr-free edge without further treatment if the edge oxidation is not tight.

 3、Aluminum

  Despite the high reflectivity and heat transfer conductivity, depending on the type of alloy and the laser's ability to cut aluminum with a thickness of less than 6mm.

  4、Titanium

  Titanium plates are cut using argon and nitrogen as processing gases. Synthetic material

 5、Organic material

  All organic materials are cut with the risk of fire (using nitrogen as an auxiliary gas or compressed air as an auxiliary gas). Wood, leather, cardboard and paper can be cut by laser, but the cutting edges will burn.
