SURFACE ROUGHNESS STUDY OF LASER CUT SURFACE

Abstract

In the field of surface geometry characterization, the growth of tribology studies has created a lot of new impediments. Progress in measurement techniques and procedures has resulted in a several data on surface morphology, as well as a requirement to comprehend the key factors in surface characterization and apply them to friction and wear mechanisms for better predictive tribosystem design. Choosing the best laser cutting settings for stainless steel 307 is an important step in enhancing the surface quality of the cutting edge. The purpose of this research is to present a unique way for enhancing stainless steel cutting conditions. Based on 33 complete factorial trial designs, laser cutting processes for stainless steel 307 plates were performed. For better surface quality, cutting considerations such as speed of cutting, cutting power, and gas pressure are calibrated. The findings revealed that surface quality is influenced by cutting power and cutting speed.
