Abstract
Non-ferrous metals are, as the name implies, those metals and alloys of which iron is not a primary constituent, although it may be present in small quantities. The term covers a multitude of alloys with a variety of histories from bronze to the modern super alloys. This chapter will deal only with the four groups of alloy which are commonly cut by CO2 laser, which are those based upon titanium, aluminium, nickel and copper.
