Description

**NO AWARD** As part of this requirement two applications are targeted: cutting trials with thin sheets of electrical steel for the production of electrical machine laminations and high rate cutting of CFRP panels. The remote laser cutting is being investigated as an alternative to traditional gantry-mounted fusion laser cutting. The benefits of this method of cutting are that the cut rate is increased and the thermal damage is reduced. Materials being investigated are high-silicon steel and cobalt iron. Sheet thicknesses could range from 0.35 mm down to 0.1 mm. A continuous-wave laser has been used in this investigation. But has been shown to produce an increased cut rate but creates more thermal damage to the material in the region of the cut. This is a result of firstly there being significant melting of the material, as well as vaporisation, and the fact that the molten material is not ejected from the component surface. A new short pulse laser is sought to overcome these issues. This new laser shall be capable of removing material in a way that produces reduced thermal damage compared to a traditional laser system. The new laser should be capable of cutting the steel sheets a…
