Abstract
Cutting and drilling by lasers can be accomplished in two ways:
-
The first one mainly used when cutting with CW beams consists in melting the material and removing the liquid by a gas-jet. This process is often referred to as melt-cutting.
-
In the second case, typical of drilling and cutting by pulsed beams the material is vaporized and self-removal occurs by the expanding vapour.
