Laser cutting quality is closely related to focus position, cutting speed, gas pressure, and power settings.
Below is a practical summary of common cutting issues, categorized by material type, along with recommended cutting parameters.
Stainless Steel Cutting Issues
(Defocus value should be adjusted according to plate thickness)
① The higher the focus, the brighter the cut surface.
② Hard slag on the bottom surface is caused by:
Focus too high.
Cutting speed is too slow.
Gas pressure is too low.
③ The lower the focus, the rougher the cut surface.
④ Soft slag on the bottom surface is caused by:
Focus too low.
Cutting speed is too fast.
Gas pressure is too high.
Excessive power.
⑤ Incomplete cutting (not cut through) is caused by:
Incorrect focus position.
Insufficient power.
Cutting speed too fast.
