Laser cut aluminum foil.

As aluminum contains high thermal conductivity and is reflective a higher concentration of laser power is needed to initiate cuts compared to steel s less. All metals are reflective to co 2 laser beams until a certain power density threshold value is reached. This video shows the process of laser cutting aluminum with settings pierce dwell air. I get about using shiny side down but will household foil cut.

Anyone have approximate settings. By far acrylic is the cheapest material to laser cut. This cutting process uses single pulse processing and the maximum cutting speed at any given frequency is determined by the combination of spot diameter and pulse repetition frequency in order to avoid pulse to pulse spot separation. Most laser cutting machines use a laser beam aligned normal to a flat sheet of material.

Aluminium is more reflective than c mn steel or stainless steel and has the potential to cause damage to the laser itself.
