Presented at ICALEO 2008
A physicomathematical model is proposed for the phenomenon of formation of periodic striations in oxygen laser cutting of mild steel sheets in 3-D case. Mechanism of roughness formation is assumed to be caused by a cyclic reaction of iron-oxygen combustion. The motion of boundaries occurs owing to metal melting under the action of focused laser radiation and the heterogeneous chemic...$28.00

Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) Modelling of Laser Cutting
Authors:
Markus Gross, University of Cambridge; Cambridge Great Britain
Presented at ICALEO 2008
One of the major obstacles in the simulation of laser cutting is the wide span of length scales and the high velocities encountered. Additionally the melt breaks up into a fine spray or shower of droplets when exiting the kerf. Hence the scope for modelling this process with traditional finite volume or finite element methods is limited. In this paper the development of a Smooth Particle Hydrodynmaics (SPH) model for laser cutting is introduced. The principle foundations of the method are discussed and results of simulations of the melt ...$28.00

Cutting of sheet metal is a still strongly growing market which has especially changed with the new solid state lasers which fairly could raise up the cutting speed and the cutting edge quality. For using the capability of fibre or disc lasers with their excellent beam quality, their higher absorption in metal and the possibility of beam guidance by fibres, the dynamic of cuttin...$28.00

Laser cutting is one of the most widely used laser processes. It has great advantages in comparison to other thermal and mechanical cutting processes. Laser cutting made manufacturing of new type of products possible e.g. in case of parts requiring 3D cutting. The development of new lasers has brought new opportunities to be carried out with laser cutting. ...$28.00
