SME MS96-142

Quality improvements in laser cutting of mild steel have been achieved by a newly developed model-based optimization strategy. The specific aims of such efforts are to assure quality of cut when cornering. Associated with cornering is the elevation of workpiece temperature in the vicinity of the cut. This is because of the increased beam exposure time due to reduced cutting speeds associated there. Corner melt-offs is therefore common.
