SSAB high strength steels and wear plates meet all demands for laser cutting
High Strength Steel (HSS) and Wear Plate offer significant advantages over mild steels. However, when it comes to laser cutting, they behave exactly the same way. Both Hardox and Domex, from SSAB, meet all demands for laser cutting and can be processed with the same cutting parameters as unalloyed steel grades such as S235.“Contrary to popular belief, a laser beam has the same effect regardless of whether a material is soft or hard,” explains Anders Ivarson, a thermal cutting and welding specialist at the SSAB Knowledge Service Center.Since a laser beam is bundled light made up of a
