Fiber laser cutting of stainless steel material is known as one of the most efficient cutting
methods, with an acceptable quality and low production costs. Duplex stainless steels have …

A dramatic increase in the industrial demands for tailoring the laser beam profile in laser
cutting has led to significant performance improvements thanks to the recently emerging …

The shape of the laser beam used for fusion cutting significantly influences the geometry of
both the cutting front and the cutting kerf. The angle of the cutting front in turn impacts the …

The generation of low surface roughness of the cut edge during laser beam cutting is a
challenge. The striation pattern, which determines the surface roughness, can be …

Full-penetration laser beam welding is characterized by a weld seam whose depth equals
the material thickness. It is associated with a stable capillary and is therefore widely used for …

Full-penetration laser welding processes are necessarily associated with significant
changes of the geometrical properties of the keyhole at the beginning of the process when …

An in-process analysis of the piercing process at the beginning of a laser cut using high-
speed X-ray imaging is presented for the first time. Sheets of stainless steel with thicknesses …

Recently, it was shown that oscillating the laser beam during laser beam cutting can
increase the maximum cutting feed rate compared to cutting with a static beam. In order to …

In laser cutting, industrial practitioners have historically demanded higher cutting speeds
and better quality cuts. Thus, there has been significant interest in the elucidation of related …

During laser fusion cutting, burr forms when the molten metal does not sufficiently exit the
interaction zone. When it forms on the lower edge of the cut flank, burr becomes a factor …
