Study of cutting defects in flame cutting of limit thickness of carbon steel by fiber laser

This thesis deals with research of cutting defects at laser cutting of 15 mm thick carbon steel by Bystronic fiber laser with emphasis on wide cutting gap, which causes enlargement of wide of cutting gap and deterioration of roughness of cutting edge and increase of creation fo heat. The introduction describes the main types of lasers used for cutting sheet of metal and compare their advantages and disadvantages. Also described is a cutting process and its parameters, and also the possible cutting defects. An experiment was conducted on steels S355MC and S235JR and cutting defects were analyzed in relation to the set of cutting parameters. Next part determines the extent of the recommended parameters that should be chosen for specific cutting conditions and is balanced recommendations regarding the choice of material to be cut, and technological adaptations parts. In the last part is measured roughness of a wide cutting gap, the width of the heat affected zone and micro-hardness of the material
