BRIGHT CUT ON CARBON STEEL — WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE?
A bright, clean cut on carbon steel depends on more than laser power.
Four factors can have a major impact on the final cut edge:
🔹 Nozzle size — affects the assist-gas flow and dross formation.
🔹 Focus position — affects energy density and cutting pe*******on.
🔹 Cutting speed — too slow can increase heat input and create rough cut lines; too fast can reduce energy per unit length and cause incomplete cutting.
🔹 Assist gas pressure — too low may not remove molten material effectively; excessive pressure can increase bottom dross.
The right setting is a balance between **energy, speed and gas flow** — while maintaining full pe*******on and a clean cut.
Change one factor at a time. Make small adjustments. Compare the actual cut edge.
