Abstract

Laser oxygen cutting uses oxygen as the process gas. In comparison with inert gases used for laser fusion cutting, such as nitrogen, oxygen provides not only for the ejection of the molten material out of the cut kerf but also for the burning of the material. In an exothermic reaction iron oxide is basically generated with a reaction enthalpy of approx. 4,800 kJ per 1 kg iron.
