Abstract: An experimental study is presented to investigate the effects of laser cutting conditions on kerf geometry with variable process parameters. Laser traverse speed, laser power and laser focal position related to the specimen quality are varied during the cutting process to simulate the situations encountered in practice. Various trends of the kerf geometrical features in terms of the varying process parameters are presented and analyzed, and shown to be reasonable. Discussions are also given on kerf geometry control in situations where variable cutting parameters are used.
