Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) in laser cutting for Aerospace components

Sep 19, 2024 7:45:00 AM

In aerospace and aeronautical manufacturing, fiber lasers have revolutionized cutting techniques and now standing toe-to-toe with non-thermal methods, offering high quality cuts with minimal Heat Affected Zone (HAZ). In fact, modern fiber lasers drastically reduce material embrittlement and process components at speeds that far exceed machining and other non-thermal technologies.
