  • Abstract
    The application of lasers to industrial electrothermal processes is discussed together with the factors affecting the choice of laser. The use of gas jet assistance in cutting applications is described, and the influence of gas jet assistance on the cutting rate and cut quality for metals and nonmetals is shown.
