How does a laser cutting machine cut shiny carbon steel?

In metal processing, laser cutting carbon steel occupies a very important position, especially through the use of advanced technology such as high-power laser cutting, burr-free cutting, bright surface cutting, etc., high-quality precision workpieces can be obtained to meet welding, surface treatment, etc. Secondary processing requirements. As the thickness of the sheet increases, to achieve bright surface cutting, not only the support of high-power lasers is required, but also advanced cutting technology for parameter adjustment, including the selection of nozzles and the focus position, which will affect the cutting effect.
 
Laser cutting machine cutting carbon steel features:
Carbon steel plate is cut with oxygen and positive focus. The thicker the carbon steel, the larger the positive focus, the larger the light spot on the material surface, and the larger the nozzle size is required (φ1.0-2.0mm).

The effect of focus on carbon steel cutting:
Within a certain focus range, the larger the positive focus, the smoother and brighter the carbon steel cutting surface.
 
The effect of nozzles on carbon steel cutting:
The same focus, the smaller the nozzle size. The smoother and brighter the cut surface of carbon steel, the less taper.
 
How to choose the right nozzle and focus:
If you want to achieve stable processing, it is necessary to ensure that the nozzle temperature is not hot and does not continue to rise. Therefore, according to different carbon steel thicknesses, you need to choose the appropriate nozzle and focus position.

Tips for cutting carbon steel thick plate with laser cutting machine:
1. With full power and small nozzle cutting, it can cut more smooth and small taper products;
2. The biggest problem in cutting carbon steel thick plates is that the nozzle is hot, so the light spot should be strictly adjusted to the center output of the heating nozzle;
3. Make sure the nozzle is not hot. The smaller the nozzle size, the larger the positive focus and the smoother the cut surface.
