In nitrogen cutting, the material is melted entirely by laser energy, and the nitrogen gas blows out the slit and avoids inappropriate chemical reactions. The temperature of the melting point area is relatively low, coupled with the cooling and protective effect of nitrogen, the reaction is smooth and uniform, and the cutting quality is high.
Nitrogen gas operates as a screen in light gauge material and halts the progression of burning. It allows the laser to burn away the material. Nitrogen generation produces more power which in turn increases the cutting speed. Thus, the more power that nitrogen generation yields, the higher the cutting speed.
This enables cutting steel of varying thicknesses. Edges cut with nitrogen are of superior quality and do not contain any impurities. Additionally, the resulting edge is exceptionally receptive to applying powder paint coatings with proper welding surfaces.
