Study on the laser cutting quality of ultra high strength steel

Ultra High Strength Steel (UHSS) has been used in vehicle as it able to improved durability of the vehicle while reducing the mass. Laser cutting process has been an alternative choice in trimming of the UHSS to regain the final shape. This study is intended to study the effect of input parameters o...
