Project Details
Description
The present project entails research with the goal to extend laser cutting of
steel based metals to thickness above 20 mm and laser powers in the 6-12 kW
range, with adequate accuracy and economically viable cutting speeds.
It is an objective to establish an overall understanding of the combination
of gas flow, laser radiation and material flow in the laser cutting process,
and on the basis of the results from these studies to make the relevant
decisions concerning the design of a mirror system, cutting head and nozzles.
Through the theoretical description of the mechanisms of cut front forming
with its many aspects the outcome should give input to dimensioning of mirror
optics and cutting nozzles.
