Effects of the Laser Beam Interaction with the Workpiece Material

Article Preview

Abstract:

The laser beam machining uses the effects generated at the impact of the workpiece surface with a laser beam that has adequate energetically and spatial - temporal characteristics. It is known that, as result of the laser beam impact with the workpiece material, local chemical and physical effects are signalized. In order to study such effects and simultaneously the technological possibilities of laser beam equipment, some experimental researches were developed on an Ytterbium fiber laser equipment of 300 W. Movements of the laser spot along established trajectories were ensured, changing the sizes of the machining parameters. The influence exerted by the machining parameters and by the materials characteristics on the material removal from the test piece was highlighted. The surface layer modifications were also studied.
