Laser processing is a manufacturing technique that uses focused laser beams to cut, weld, engrave, drill, or modify materials with extreme precision and control. It enables high-quality processing of metals, plastics, ceramics, and other materials used in industrial processes.
Industrial gases serve as assist gases that help remove molten material, prevent oxidation, cool the cutting zone, and improve cut quality during laser operations. Gases are selected based on the material being processed and the desired outcome, such as clean cuts, oxidation prevention, or enhanced cutting speed.
Using the right industrial gases improves cut quality, increases processing speed, reduces heat-affected zones, and prevents oxidation and contamination. Proper gas selection also extends laser equipment life and enables processing of challenging materials while achieving superior edge finishes.
Nitrogen acts as an inert assist gas that prevents oxidation during cutting and welding to produce clean, oxide-free cuts on stainless steel and aluminum. It also provides a protective atmosphere that maintains material properties and prevents contamination during processing.
Oxygen enhances the cutting process for carbon steel by creating an exothermic reaction that increases cutting speed and efficiency. It helps achieve smooth cut edges and cut through thicker materials more effectively.
Argon and helium serve as inert shielding gases for laser welding, protecting the weld pool from atmospheric contamination and oxidation. These gases produce high-quality welds with minimal porosity and superior mechanical properties.
Common mixtures include nitrogen-hydrogen blends for enhanced cutting performance, argon-helium combinations for specialized welding applications, and nitrogen-oxygen mixtures for balanced cutting characteristics.
Stainless steel and aluminum typically use nitrogen for clean cuts, while carbon steel often uses oxygen for speed and efficiency. Similarly, titanium requires argon or helium for contamination prevention, and thin materials may use compressed air for cost-effective processing.
