Assist/Cutting Gases
Argon |
Laser fusion cutting has been introduced into production within recent years. The material is melted by the laser beam and flushed out by a nonreactive gas stream – in most cases nitrogen, though
sometimes argon.

Oxygen |
When laser cutting metals a cutting gas is used, which flows out of the nozzle. The cutting gas not only protects the lens from fumes and spatter. it also cools the edges of the kerf, blows away molten metal and oxides from the kerf and if oxygen is used also contributes to the cutting process by reacting with the metal to be cut. In laser oxygen cutting the additional heat input from the oxidization of the metal is used to obtain high cutting speeds or to cut thicker material. This process fits best in combination with mild steel and low-alloyed steel.
