Laser Cut Aluminum Foil

I get about using shiny side down but will household foil cut.

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. 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. Thanks dima ps i am looking to use the foil as a conductive material for a battery holder hence i am looking at household foil instead of laserfoil. By far acrylic is the cheapest material to laser cut.

Anyone have approximate settings. All metals are reflective to co 2 laser beams until a certain power density threshold value is reached. Cutting aluminium foil redenergy g4 50w hs h. I ve done some searching and read through the responses but haven t actually seen anyone that has tried to vector cut aluminum foil.

Most laser cutting machines use a laser beam aligned normal to a flat sheet of material.
