Cutting high reflective materials by metal laser cutting machine is an important problem for many metal laser cutting machine manufacturers. Highly reflective metal materials have always been difficult to cut by metal laser cutting machines, including copper, aluminum, gold, etc., which are also common materials in our daily processing.
In fact, it is necessary to add some auxiliary gas in cutting high reflection materials to increase the cutting speed. Then why do you need to add auxiliary gas to cut highly reflective metal materials? When the metal laser cutting machine cuts metal copper, the added auxiliary gas reacts with the material under high temperature conditions to increase the cutting speed. For example, oxygen can be used to achieve the combustion supporting effect. Nitrogen is an auxiliary gas for laser cutting equipment to improve cutting effect. For copper materials below 1mm, metal laser cutting machine can be used for processing.
When using the metal laser cutting machine, it is not necessary to worry about whether the material can be cut. What should be paid attention to is the processing effect. Nitrogen is the best auxiliary gas. When the thickness of metal copper reaches 2mm, it is impossible to process only with nitrogen. At this time, oxygen must be added to oxidize it to realize cutting.
Metal laser cutting machine processing is a technical activity. In order to cut copper materials to achieve better results, it also requires high technical requirements for operators. Only good technology and good methods can process copper materials more easily.
