EXPERIMENTATION AND PARAMETRIC ANALYSIS OF LASER CUTTING PROCESS ON LOW CARBON STEEL

Mechanical Engineering

Laser cutting process is a relatively new machining technique, which is extensively used in many industrial applications. Parameters which affect on quality of laser cutting are Laser power, Cutting speed, and Gas pressure. It’s effect observe on Surface roughness, Kerf width and Taper angle. Laser cutting process on low carbon steel is rarely found in previous research work. This research include Experimentation and Parametric analysis on Low carbon steel. These study conclude that the kerf width is affected to kerf angle thus ultimately concentration on reduce kerf width leads to good surface qualities. While studying the effect of the cutting parameters on the surface roughness, it was observed that both the cutting speed and the laser power play equally important roles in the effect on the surface roughness. The role of the gas pressure given is less crucial to the same extent. Through use of response surface methodology, engineer can predicted and visualize manipulate range of process parameters for this particular work material. Also it has been given intermediate value of process parameters which carried out the accurate study.
