How To Choose Suitable Gas For Your 10000 20000 30000 Watt Fiber Laser Cutting Machine

Mostly, we use oxygen for cutting mild steel,nitrogen for cutting stainless steel,aluminum copper and other metals. With the continuous progress and breakthrough of high-power laser cutting technology, more and more factories are choosing 10000 watt 20000 watt or 30000 watt fiber laser cutter. The price of high power laser source is getting lower and lower, more and more factories can afford it. We apply nitrogen, oxygen and air to different materials according to different cutting requirements, which can not only improve the cutting efficiency, but also reduce the low-end processing cost.

The reasons for choosing different gas:

1. For any thickness mild steel, it has peak speed when using oxygen for cutting. Even the laser power is very high, the cutting speed is the same.

2. High power laser uses oxygen to cut medium and thin carbon steel to prevent cutting over burning caused by high power. The cutting power must be reduced.

3. 10000 watt 20000 watt 30000 watt fiber laser cutter do not have speed advantages during cutting medium and thin carbon steel with oxygen.

XDLASER tested and get the following data:

About cutting efficiency:

1. For cutting 6-16mm carbon steel with 20000 watt fiber laser cutter, the efficiency of using air is 118% to 686% higher than using oxygen.

2. For cutting 6-16mm carbon steel with 20000 watt fiber laser cutter, the efficiency of using air is 5% to 20% higher than using oxygen.

About cutting cost:

1. For cutting 6-16mm carbon steel, the cost of 20000W fiber laser cutting machine use air for cutting is 53%-87% lower than by oxygen.

2. For cutting 6-16mm carbon steel, the cost of 20000W fiber laser cutting machine use air for cutting is 28%-35% lower than by nitrogen

Generally speaking, if you need to cut 6-16mm carbon steel, you can get higher work efficiency lower cost and bigger profit by air. If you need to cut 22-45mm carbon steel, you can not get good effect by nitrogen and air. It is recommended to use oxygen and get good cutting result.
