Development the technologies of laser cutting in oxygen and nitrogen flow for aircraft and rocket production

The experimental results on determination the maximum possibilities of gas-laser cutting speed with active and neutral process gas (oxygen and nitrogen) at different thickness of workpiece materials. It was revealed that maximum effect of increasing the speed of gas laser cutting is achieved with increasing material thickness at use of oxygen, as an energy balance in this case is added to the chemical reaction heat from the combustion of titanium OT4 active gas environment.
