Abstract
In this study, the effect of cutting parameters on kerf quality and surface roughness in laser cutting of Al 5083 alloyed material was investigated both experimentally and statistically (Taguchi & Gray Taguchi). Experimental design was determined using the Taguchi L18 (21x 32) orthogonal array. Experiments were carried out by using two different gas pressures (GP) (8 and 10 bar), three different cutting speeds (CS) (3500, 4000 and 4500mm⋅min−1) and laser power (P) (2600, 3100 and 3600W) in the cutting of Al 5083 alloyed material. As a result of the study, top kerf width (TKW), bottom kerf width (BKW) and average surface roughness (Ra) were measured as output parameter values. Using the measured top and BKW results, kerf taper (KT) was calculated. The lowest values of TKW, BKW, KT and Ra were 2.219mm, 2.010mm, 0.984∘ and 2.394μm, respectively. To determine the optimum values of laser cutting parameters for minimum output parameters, signal-noise (S/N) ratio, variance and regression analysis, validity experiments and GRA methods were used. When S/N ratios were examined, the most ideal cutting parameters were determined as A1B3C1 for TKW and BKW, A2B1C3 for KT and A2B3C3 for Ra. When the variance results were examined, it was determined that the most effective processing parameter for TKW, BKW and KT was at 46.04%, 50.58% and 56.45% CS, respectively, and the most effective processing parameter for Ra was laser power with 46.57%. According to gray relationship analysis, optimum laser cutting parameters for the smallest values of all output parameters were determined as A1B3C1. According to gray relationship analysis, optimum laser cutting parameters for the smallest values of all output parameters were determined as A1B3C1.
