Stainless Steel Laser Cutting Machine Application Guide From Laser Cutting Machine Manufacturers
Stainless Steel is a popular metal material widely used in our life, it is beautiful and durable and the cost is acceptable for most of our family.
Today, we’d like to talk about how to cut stainless steel by fiber laser cutting machine.
How Many Watts Fiber Laser Cutting Machines Can Cut Stainless Steel?
For the above question, we need to know how many thicknesses of stainless steel do you want to cut?
If just cut under 1mm stainless steel, then a 150W CO2 laser cutting machine can handle it and the CO2 laser cutting machine price is cheap around USD9,000.00-USD12,000.00 can own one set.
If you want high speed and good cutting edge on stainless steel, fiber laser cutting machine will be your best choice. With the development of China’s fiber laser cutting machine industry, the cost of laser cutting machines reduces a lot. Now, a 1500W Fiber laser cutting machine can max cut 6mm stainless steel. 1500W Stainless steel laser cutting machine price is around USD 35000.00- USD70000.00. There are many stainless steel laser cutting machines for sale in China market, you can easily find a suitable stainless steel laser cutting machine supplier.
Which Kind of Gas is Used in Stainless Steel Laser Cutting?
For Stainless steel cutting, we will mainly use Air and Nitrogen gas in production.
How to Choose The Suitable Gas?
Normally for thin stainless cutting around 1-2mm, Air laser cutting will be better to save the production cost, because the cutting edge is thin, even the cutting result is not bright, it is no problem.
If you have a strict demand on the cutting edge, then Nitrogen is necessary for stainless steel cutting job. Because Nitrogen is an Inert gas, No chemical reaction during the high-temperature cutting. So, the cutting edge of stainless steel will look bright and smooth by fiber laser cutting.
