Can aluminum plate be laser cut?

Aluminum plate processing is often encountered in gold processing. One of the problems is whether aluminum plate can be cut by laser? The answer is yes.

A few years ago, the laser cutting machine was able to cut aluminum plates. At that time, the workers painted the aluminum plates with ink (it is said that the aluminum plate has a high reflective coefficient and is afraid of reflecting the laser). During the cutting, the parameters of the laser are very difficult to adjust. At that time, only aluminum sheets with a thickness of 1 mm could be cut. After accumulating experience, the incision of the aluminum plate is also very smooth and there is no slag.

Laser cutting aluminum plate also depends on the power of the laser generator. The maximum thickness of 6000W can be cut to 16mm, and the thickness of 4500W can be cut to 12mm, but the processing cost is only high, because it is a highly reflective material, and laser cutting is made by focusing The high-power density laser beam irradiates the workpiece, so that the irradiated material rapidly melts, vaporizes, ablates or reaches the ignition point, and at the same time, the molten material is blown away by the high-speed airflow coaxial with the beam, so as to realize the cutting of the workpiece.



Is the cut surface of laser cut aluminum sheet as smooth as cutting other materials?

The incision of the aluminum plate is also smooth. The aluminum plate is only a highly reflective material, which requires a large laser generator. The cutting gas, like other materials, is cut with nitrogen gas, which will not cause the surface to be uneven.

Aluminum plate using laser cutting features:

1. Thin cutting seam: The cutting seam of laser cutting aluminum plate is generally 0.1mm-0.2mm

2. The cutting surface is smooth: the cutting surface of the laser-cut aluminum plate has no burrs and no slag.

3. Small thermal deformation: The laser processing of laser processing has thin slits, high speed and concentrated energy, so the heat transmitted to the material to be cut is small, and the deformation of the material is also very small.

4. Material saving: laser processing adopts computer programming, laser equipment can cut different shapes of aluminum plate processing parts, improve the material utilization rate of aluminum plates, and save a lot of material costs.

5. The thickness of the aluminum plate that can be cut mainly depends on the power of the laser generator. Generally, the maximum thickness of 6000W can be cut to 16mm, and the thickness of 4500W can be cut to 12mm.

The aluminum plate is a highly reflective material, which can cause great damage to the laser. But Baiwei Laser's latest laser cutting machine solves this problem, because the latest laser has anti-high reflection properties. So you can cut any aluminum plate material at will with peace of mind.
