- Abstract
The laser cutting process is considered one of the most widely cutting processes that used in modern industries such as automotive manufacturing. This paper investigated numerically the influence of the laser cutting process on the three types of steel used widely in the industry which are structural steel, stainless steel and grey cast iron. These steel grades were subjected to three different laser powers (200, 400, 600) watt to obtain the maximum temperature during cutting, overall deformation, the peak stress, maximum shear stress and maximum strain. The simulation process was carried out using SOLIDWORKS 2016 and numerical analysis via ANSYS 2020. The outcomes showed the maximum strain and maximum stress happened in stainless steel due to the contents of the high element in its content which can cause microstructural changes and may cause failure under sudden loads. The results also revealed that the finite element method can predict accurately the stress and temperature distribution for the work piece during laser cutting.
