摘要
The objective of the this study is to investigate the effects of cutting parameters on thermal characteristics, including practical cutting regions, the formation of the kerfwidth and the heat transfer phenomenon, in the cutting of Inconel 718 super-alloy sheets using a CW Nd:YAG laser. From the results of the experiments, the influence of process parameters on both the practical cutting region and the kerfwidth has been examined. In addition, it has been shown that the kerfwidth of the specimen lies in the range of 0.53-0.61 mm. In order to examine characteristics of the heat transfer during the laser cutting process, a three-dimensional quasi-steady heat transfer analysis has been performed using the commercial code SYSWELD V9.0. From the results of the analysis, the influence of cutting parameters on the temperature distribution in the vicinity of the cut section has been quantitatively evaluated. Based on these results, optimal cutting conditions have been estimated.
