Abstract:The laser cutting of rock has been popular recently because of its advantages over traditional rock cutting methods. Several types of research were performed to replace traditional rock cutting techniques with laser cutting. The purpose of this experiment is to observe cutting quality for intrusive igneous rocks using a high-power multimode fiber laser. The cutting quality, in terms of kerf width and penetration depth, resulted from different scanning speeds and was studied and compared. The specimens used in this study were gabbro, granite, and diorite, which are widely applied in the construction industry because of their high compressive strength and beautiful textures. Energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) analyses were conducted to observe the chemical content of three different areas, the melting area, the burnt area, and a non-processed area, for each rock specimen. The study of the compositional changes in each area will also go over the cutting quality of each rock specimen at different scanning speeds. According to the experimental results, the kerf widths of the specimens gradually decrease as the scanning speeds increase. The penetration depths into the specimens sharply decrease as scanning speeds increase. From a study of their compositional changes, it is found that the cutting quality for each rock depends on their silica content. This study summarizes that the cutting quality for a rock specimen greatly depends on the scanning speed of the laser cutting.
