As we all know, metal copper is a material with good thermal conductivity and is also a material with high reflection. So for metal laser cutting machine, it is relatively difficult to process materials. But copper is a common material for our daily processing. What’s a better processing plan?
When processing copper materials, first understand the specific raw materials. There are many kinds of copper materials, including brass and red copper. Secondly, the thermal conductivity and emissivity are understood to set the cutting parameters of the metal laser cutting machine. In addition, the processing method advocated by Xinquanli Laser is to add auxiliary gas – oxygen or nitrogen.
Generally, metal laser cutting machine processing high reflective materials will cause great damage to the laser lens, so generally cut materials such as copper, and try to process the thin plate below 2mm. Increasing the time division of oxygen assisted gas is conducive to the oxidation of copper by laser, and can improve the processing speed and cutting performance of metal laser cutting machine. When adding nitrogen to assist the gas, cut the copper material below 1mm, which can ensure the cutting effect and make its cutting surface smooth and smooth.
Metal laser cutting machine processing is a skill job. If you want to cut copper materials to achieve a better effect, it also requires a high level of operator skills. As long as you have good skills and good methods, the ability to process copper materials will become more simple.
