Is air pressure important to the processing of metal laser cutting machines

We know that the metal laser cutting machine needs auxiliary gas to assist in the processing process. This has to talk about a problem of air pressure. So is air pressure important to the processing of metal laser cutting machines? This question is very worth talking about. Let's take a look together below. For the processing of metal laser cutting machine, the auxiliary gas must have enough pressure to be able to completely remove the waste generated by cutting. Generally, the air pressure should be reduced a little when cutting thicker workpieces, and the residues sticking to the workpiece will be Destroy the cutting edge. Increasing the gas pressure can advance the cutting speed, but after reaching a maximum value, continuing to increase the gas pressure will cause the cutting speed to drop. Under high auxiliary gas pressure, the reason for the decrease in cutting speed can be attributed to the high air velocity and the enhancement of the cooling effect of the action area, and it may also be the interference of the intermittent shock wave existing in the airflow on the cooling of the laser action area. The uneven pressure and temperature in the airflow will cause the change of the airflow field density. Such a density gradient results in a change in the refractive index in the field, thereby constricting the focus of the beam energy, causing refocusing or beam divergence. This interference will affect the melting efficiency, and sometimes may change the mode structure, resulting in a decrease in cutting quality, if the beam diverges too much. To make the light spot too large may even cause serious consequences that cannot be effectively cut. In order to avoid the adverse reaction of the high-speed airflow to the cutting performance, it is conceivable to change the total pressure distribution in the airflow. Due to this change in the airflow pressure distribution, the melting process occurs in the central low-pressure zone; and the adjacent high-pressure zone around it can be increased to Sufficient momentum (impulsive force) to ensure more effective removal of slag. Since the intermittent nature of the high-pressure zone does not interfere with the speed of light, the melting efficiency is also improved.
