Laser cutting is often the preferred method for cutting brass due to its precision, speed, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Compared to other cutting methods like plasma cutting, flame cutting, laser cutting offers the following advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Precision: <\/strong>Laser cutting is highly precise and the cutting slit is narrow. It can produce intricate and complex cuts with minimal material waste. Moreover, since brass is reflective, the use of fiber lasers with shorter wavelengths allows for lower reflectivity and even more precise cutting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Broader Applicability:<\/strong> Laser cutting can handle both thin brass sheets and thick sheets. Especially, it can cut through thinner materials than some other methods, such as plasma cutting, which may be better suited for thicker materials, and may not be as effective for cutting thinner brass sheets or components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clean Cuts: <\/strong>Laser cutting produces a clean, smooth edge with minimal burring, which can minimize the need for additional finishing or polishing. And it produces a smaller heat affected zone that helps to minimize distortion and preserve material properties near the cut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Speed: <\/strong>Lasers can cut through brass quickly, which makes the process faster than other methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cost-effective: <\/strong>Laser cutting equipment may be expensive than other cutting methods. However, the process can be cost-effective in the long run due to its speed, precision, and minimal material waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brass is a high thermal conductivity and reflectivity metal, so cutting it with a laser will be challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CO2 lasers and fiber lasers<\/strong> are two common types of laser cutting machines. Compare to fiber laser, co2 is cheaper and can cut more materials, even non-metals. Are you quite excited about this? However, it is often not the best choice for cutting brass. Because it is difficult to be absorbed by brass and reflects too much, making cutting less efficient and can even damage the machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, by comparison, I would recommend the fiber laser more. It has a shorter wavelength and greater energy output to heat and melt the brass fast. At this molten state, the reflection of the brass will go down a lot, making it easier to cut through and makes smooth edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhich Laser Should I Choose For Cutting Brass?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
