Abstract: | In the present study laser cutting of composite structure, consisting of Kevlar laminate at the top and mild steel sheet at
the bottom, is considered. The end product quality is assessed using the thermal cutting standards. To compare the end product
quality of composite structure cuts, Kevlar laminate and mild steel sheet are cut using the same cutting parameters. The kerf
widths for Kevlar laminate and mild steel sheet cuts are predicted from the analytical formulation based on the lump parameter
analysis. It is found that the end product quality of composite structure cuts is lower than that corresponding to Kevlar
laminate and mild steel sheet cuts. |
