Abstract

This chapter gives a brief overview of laser beam cutting. An illustration of basic fundamentals of laser material interaction and material removal is given here which considers generation of photon and interaction with electron to generate heat, absorption of heat, phase transformation, plasma generation, ablation and removal mechanism of cut material from the irradiate region at dry condition. An experimental study of laser beam cutting of Inconel 625 superalloy at dry condition is given at the end of this chapter. During this experimental study effect of different process parameters on machining characteristics also discussed in details.
