Detailed Comparison of Laser Cutting Parameters for Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, and Copper
Laser cutting may appear to be a process in which “one machine cuts everything,” but the physical and chemical properties of different materials vary greatly, so cutting parameters must be adjusted for each material. One of the most common mistakes is applying carbon-steel cutting parameters directly to stainless steel or aluminum. The result may be […]

Common Laser Cutting Problems: Causes and Solutions for Burrs, Dross, and Black Cut Edges
In laser cutting production, burrs, dross, and black cut edges are three of the most common quality defects. They may all look like an “unclean cut,” but their causes are different and require different corrective actions. When operators encounter these problems, they often increase power or gas pressure by habit. This may address the symptom […]

Laser Cutting Considerations: A Beginner’s Guide to Avoiding Common Pitfalls
As the first operation in sheet metal fabrication, laser cutting largely determines the upper limit of quality for subsequent bending, welding, and surface finishing. If a workpiece has dimensional deviations, poor cut edges, or an incorrect material selection at the cutting stage, later processes can do little to recover it. Many new engineers and buyers […]
