Abstract
Recently laser cutting has been finding a wide variety of applications in industry due to its excellent cut quality with high productivity and flexibility. However, the mechanism of laser cutting has not been well understood, although several papers have been published [1-5] analysing laser cutting. The understanding of the mechanism of laser cutting requires systematic analysis including the physical and metallurgical properties of molten material and beam-material interaction during laser cutting.
