What Metals Can Be Laser Cut? A Comprehensive Guide

Laser cutting is a highly precise and efficient method for shaping various metals, widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. If you're wondering what metals can be laser cut, the answer depends on the type of laser technology used—primarily fiber lasers and CO₂ lasers.

At Roclas, we specialize in high-performance fiber laser cutting machines that deliver superior speed, precision, and cost-effectiveness. Below, we explore the most common metals suitable for laser cutting and why Roclas machines are the best choice for your metal fabrication needs.

Metals Suitable for Laser Cutting

1. Carbon Steel (Mild Steel & Stainless Steel)

- Mild Steel Easily cut with a fiber laser due to its high iron content, producing clean edges with minimal burring.

- Stainless Steel Both 304 and 316 grades can be precisely cut, making them ideal for medical, food processing, and architectural applications.

Why Roclas? Our fiber laser cutters feature advanced beam control, ensuring smooth cuts even on thick stainless steel sheets.

2. Aluminum

Aluminum is lightweight and highly reflective, requiring a high-power fiber laser for optimal results. It’s commonly used in aerospace and electronics.

Roclas Advantage Our machines offer nitrogen-assisted cutting to prevent oxidation, delivering clean, burr-free aluminum cuts.

3. Copper & Brass

These metals are highly conductive and reflective, making them challenging for CO₂ lasers. However, fiber lasers (like those from Roclas) can efficiently cut thin to medium-thickness sheets.

4. Titanium

Titanium is strong yet lightweight, making it perfect for aerospace and medical implants. A fiber laser with oxygen assist ensures precise, oxidation-free cuts.

5. Other Metals (Nickel Alloys, Tool Steel, etc.)

- Inconel & Monel High-temperature-resistant alloys used in jet engines and chemical processing.

- Tool Steel Used in molds and dies, requiring high-power lasers for clean cuts.
