Commonly used steel and metal materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, aluminum and aluminum alloys, titanium and titanium alloys, and most nickel alloys can be cut by laser cutting machine.Stainless steel has features such as strong corrosion resistance, high mechanical properties, no fading on the surface, and color varies with the angle of light. Carbon steel is an iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content of 0.0218%-2.11%, also called carbon steel. It usually contains a small amount of silicon, manganese, sulfur and phosphorus. In general, for carbon steel, the higher the carbon content, the higher the hardness and the higher the strength, but the lower the plasticity.

In addition to iron and carbon, other alloying elements are added to the alloy steel. According to the different additive elements and appropriate processing technology, can get strong, high toughness, durable, corrosion resistance, low temperature resistance, high temperature resistance, no magnetic and other special features. Laser cutting machines have very good cutting effect, especially the high-power laser cutting machines.

During the laser cutting process, the laser beam is focused into a very small spot with a minimum diameter of less than 0.1 mm, so that the focal point can reach a very high power density, can exceed 106 W/cm2. At this time, the input of the beam (converted by light energy) far exceeds the amount of heat that is reflected, transmitted, or diffused by the material. The material is quickly heated to the vaporization humidity and evaporated to form a hole. With the relative linear movement of the light beam and the material, the holes are continuously formed into narrow cutting (for example, about 0.1 mm). The thermal effect of trimming is very small and there is basically no deformation of the work piece. An auxiliary gas suitable for the cutting material is also added during the cutting process. When cutting steel, oxygen is used as an auxiliary gas to generate an exothermic chemical reaction with the molten metal to oxidize material , and at the same time, helping to blow away the slag in the kerf.

For iron and steel metallurgy companies, the introduction of laser cutting machines has unique advantages for the development of the company:

The laser cutting machine has high efficiency, convenient operation, saving a lot of auxiliary time and cost;
For users with small batch and multi-species demand, laser finished products can be directly provided, which extends the service chain of products and generates secondary benefits.
The laser cutting machine can be computer control discharged to achieve two-dimensional, three-dimensional arbitrary cutting, in order to maximize the savings of materials and consumables, to achieve a win-win situation for steel factories and customers;

Laser cutting almost no consumables , no pollution, cutting waste can be quickly recycled.
