Abstract

An experimental investigation is presented, which analyses the Co2, laser cutting
process for S.S and M.S sheet. It shows that by proper control of the cutting parameter, good
quality cuts are possible at high cutting rates. Some kerf characteristics such as the width,
heat affected zone (HAZ) and dross; in terms of the process parameters are also discussed. To
check surface roughness identified Ra value for fine quality cut by using measuring
instrument and make comparison for different thickness sheet.
