As we all know, metal laser cutting machine is a sharp tool for sheet metal processing. In actual production, there is always the phenomenon of processing materials rusting, especially in the southern region. Steel plates are easy to rust due to humid environment.

Therefore, many customers want to know whether the steel laser cutting machine can cut the rusty steel. The laser itself cannot be the light source. The laser will generate heat only after it is absorbed on the material surface. If the material surface is rusty or not, the laser absorption will be different, and the heat generated will also be greatly affected.

How does the laser cutting machine cut the rusty plates?

In general, cutting rusty plates will have the following effects:

1. The cutting efficiency of sheet materials is reduced, the effect is poor, and the scrap rate is higher. If possible, it is better to reduce the use of rusty plates or treat them before use.

2. In fact, the worst consequence is that the hole breaks when drilling and cutting. It will pollute the lens. If the thickness is greater than 5mm, the customer can use a grinder to remove rust. If the thickness is less than 5mm, it can not be used. The worst result is that the cutting effect is not good.

3. The cutting condition of uniformly rusted steel plate is better than that of unevenly rusted steel plate. Because the uniformly rusted sheet absorbs the laser evenly, it can be cut well. For processing materials with uneven surface corrosion, the surface must be uniform before cutting.

In conclusion, it is best to use clean boards. Even if it is necessary to use rusty plates, pay attention to the uniform rust condition.
