What is Waterjet/laser cutting of liner profiles?

Waterjet/laser cutting of liner profiles capability for titanium components

Laser processing capability for cutting of liner profiles, with precision beam delivery, gas assist systems, and process monitoring for repeatable quality.

Engineering Parameters & Capabilities

Fiber laser cutting of titanium uses a focused 1 µm wavelength beam to melt and expel material through a coaxial assist gas jet. The narrow (0.1–0.3 mm) kerf and small heat-affected zone make it suitable for precision profiles in sheet and thin-plate titanium components.

Parameter Primary Method Alternative Method
Cut Speed (3 mm Ti) Up to 6 m/min 0.5–1.5 m/min
Kerf Width 0.1–0.3 mm 0.7–1.2 mm
HAZ 0.05–0.15 mm with N₂ assist Zero HAZ (cold cut)
Max Thickness 15 mm (fiber laser) 100 mm+

Engineering Capabilities & Limits

Laser processing capability for cutting of liner profiles, with precision beam delivery, gas assist systems, and process monitoring for repeatable quality.

Hole Types Supported

Round holes (≥ 0.5 mm diameter) Slots / oblongs Micro-perforation arrays

Heat Control Measures

Coaxial N₂ (99.999%) assist gas at 12–20 bar prevents titanium oxidation by displacing oxygen. Laser power modulation controls heat input to minimize the HAZ to 0.05–0.15 mm.

Flatness & Stress Relief

Thin-gauge titanium (< 2 mm) may release residual stress during cutting, causing distortion. Vacuum annealing stress relief at 540–650°C and roller leveling are available.

Tolerance

±0.05 mm (thin sheet < 3 mm) / ±0.1 mm (plate 3–12 mm)
