Repetitively pulsed gas-jet laser cutting of metals in an oxygen-containing gas
A model of the repetitively pulsed gas-jet laser cutting of thick metals in an oxidising gas is developed. It is shown that the optimal choice of the time-dependent (radiation) and beam-focusing parameters will make it possible to increase the average cutting rate by a factor of 1.5 - 1.8. (interact...

Summary: | A model of the repetitively pulsed gas-jet laser cutting of thick metals in an oxidising gas is developed. It is shown that the optimal choice of the time-dependent (radiation) and beam-focusing parameters will make it possible to increase the average cutting rate by a factor of 1.5 - 1.8.
