Feasibility of Cutting Aluminum Alloys with a 6-Kilowatt Laser
Abstract
The results of this program demonstrated that it is feasible to use laser cutting of aluminum without edge enhancement in the fabrication of hardware where a sheared or blanked edge is acceptable to meet engineering requirements. However, it was further shown that it is not feasible to use an as-laser-cut edge for hardware where machined edges or hole filling fasteners are required to meet engineering requirements.
