In today's manufacturing landscape, more equipment and metal processing manufacturers are opting for laser cutting and welding processes. Compared to traditional methods, these techniques offer higher efficiency, reduced pollution, and enhanced safety. However, laser cutting and welding require specific auxiliary gases to optimize performance. Commonly used gases include nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), and compressed air. Depending on the material and processing characteristics, other gases such as argon (Ar) may also be utilized.
At TYHJ, we specialize in producing and supplying various purity levels of industrial gases and mixtures to meet all your metal cutting and welding needs.
- Oxygen (O2)
Typically used for cutting carbon steel and other low-alloy steels. It reacts with metal to form metal oxides, enhancing cutting performance. - Nitrogen (N2)
Primarily used for stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and copper alloy materials. It prevents oxidation during processing, maintaining the metal's edge brightness. Also provides cooling to reduce the heat-affected zone (HAZ). - Compressed Air
It is one of the most commonly used auxiliary gases. It is cost-effective and easily accessible, offering fast cutting speeds. Requires regular maintenance of air compressor filters to avoid contamination of the laser gas path. - Argon Gas (Ar)
Used for processing materials with high thermal conductivity, such as copper and aluminum. It is excellent cooling properties that effectively reduce the heat-affected zone during processing.
