Nitrogen-assist-gas in Fiber Laser Cutting application

Nitrogen-assist-gas in Fiber Laser Cutting application Nitrogen is the most common assist gas used when the cut of the laser must be excellent. The process vaporizes the metal, and before the vaporized metal can resolidify, the nitrogen gas moves it away from the cut edge. Nitrogen is also essential in: Reducing discoloration of the cut edge Establishing a barrier between atmospheric oxygen and the heated metal edge Assisting in heat dissipation, so the cut edge will cool faster. What are the Key Benefits of Using Nitrogen Generators in Laser Cutting Applications? Lower Cost: Nitrogen assist and purge gas is one of the highest costs associated with laser cutting, particularly for fiber lasers.  Higher Productivity: Nitrogen generator ensures that your application run continuously and without much attention from the operator. Better Control: Generating your own nitrogen means no more ordering, changing and running out of bottles! No more liquid deliveries interrupting production…
