Infrared Laser Application to Wood Cutting

Abstract: While lasers are widely used across various industries, including woodworking, few studies to date have addressed the issue of cutting fresh wood. In the present investigation, wood stemming from fresh tree branches was cut at different laser powers and beam travel speeds. A fiber laser and a CO2 laser were used for the research. The cellular structures of the cut surfaces were examined, with some of them found to be covered with a layer of compacted, charred cells. This may be a favorable phenomenon, preventi… Show more

“…In this case, a narrower and less burnt quality cut with kerf and HAZ width is obtained in the vertical cut to the fibers (the kerf width measuring axis extending in the direction parallel to the fibers) (Açık and Tutuş 2022). In another study, it was explained that the low thermal conductivity of wood compared to other engineering materials is negatively affected by hot gases that cause coal deposits on the surface of the laser-treated material and damage its texture (Aniszewska et al 2020).…”

“…Given the low thermal conductivity of wood, hot gases that cause charcoal deposits on the surface of the treated material damage the wood texture. The thickness of the carbonized layer depends on the physical properties and size of the workpiece, the processing direction (vertical and parallel to the fibers) and some laser operation parameters (Aniszewska et al 2020). Deeper understanding of the characteristic behavior of wood is essential for predicting its mechanical response, and even more so for manufacturing design if biomaterials are used.…”

“…Factors such as moisture content, grain direction, and wood species can greatly influence the cutting process, resulting in varying outcomes in terms of cut quality, efficiency, and material behavior. As the demand for refined wood products grows, understanding these interactions is paramount to optimizing laser cutting parameters and ensuring product quality [16][17][18][19].…”
