Laser cutting is a versatile process that can be used to cut a wide range of metals of various thicknesses.

Some of the metals commonly cut using laser cutting technology are:

• Steel

Laser cutting is very effective for cutting various types of steel, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel. It can produce precise cuts in thin to thick steel plates. Laser cutting is particularly well-suited for cutting stainless steel because of its ability to produce clean, high-quality cuts with minimal heat-affected areas. Stainless steel is widely used in industries such as food processing, medical equipment, and automotive, where precision and hygiene are paramount.

• Aluminum

Aluminum is another popular metal for laser cutting because of its light weight, corrosion resistance, and versatility. Laser cutting can be used to cut aluminum sheets of various thicknesses, making it suitable for applications such as aerospace components, signage, and architectural elements.

• Copper

Although copper has traditionally been difficult to cut using laser technology because of its high reflectivity and thermal conductivity, advances in laser technology have made it possible to cut copper with precision and efficiency. Laser cutting is often used to manufacture copper components in the electronics, telecommunications, and electrical industries.

• Brass

Laser cutting is also suitable for cutting brass, a popular alloy of copper and zinc known for its attractive appearance and corrosion resistance. Brass is often used in architectural applications, decorative elements, and musical instruments, where intricate designs and precise cuts are desired.

• Nickel

Laser cutting can be used to cut nickel alloys, such as Inconel and Monel, which are known for their high temperature and corrosion resistance. These alloys are often used in aerospace, chemical processing, and marine applications, where they require precise machining and fabrication.
