We can manufacture a wide variety of products with high-quality finishes using this cutting technique, which is characterized by its outstanding qualities. But what materials are the most prominent in the new year? We analyze them below.

Titanium

This material stands out for its natural resistance, especially against corrosion. As a general rule, it is used in alloys with other metals such as iron, aluminum, vanadium, and molybdenum. This allows improving its characteristics, as well as reducing production costs. Additionally, with the appropriate machinery, this material is easily cut. It is used in engines and structures in the aeronautical industry. Aluminum

Aluminum is a metal that possesses unique qualities. It is resistant, does not oxidize, is lightweight, and is very versatile. We can cut thin sheets of this material, which will have excellent resistance and notable flexibility. These traits make it used in all types of industries. Thus, for example, we find it in a soda can, a window, or even in ships. Steel

This metal is a classic in laser cutting, which maintains its relevance in 2022. A material with so many uses does not go unnoticed. We can produce high-precision parts, which will later be part of machines. The world would be very different without steel. Thanks to its outstanding characteristics and easy handling, we will continue to use it for a long time. One of the materials we must not lose sight of at any time. Copper

It is a metal widely used today. This is because it can be alloyed with others and its applications are very varied. Additionally, this is a metal that stands out for being ductile and malleable, as well as for being a good conductor of both heat and electricity. It is also capable of resisting corrosion under normal environmental conditions and is very easy to mold to make pipes or ducts. Brass

This alloy of copper and zinc, to which lead or tin can be added, has a low melting point, resists oxidation, and has non-magnetic properties. It is also possible to give it applications for laser marking and cutting, as it is capable of absorbing the 1.06-micron wavelength of fiber laser. This allows achieving intricate designs with ease, which will expand its use. Currently, we use it in boiler making, wires, jewelry, etc.

However, the current complex situation of rising transport costs and tariffs, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, is generating delays in the delivery of these materials. Despite this, at Laser Norte, we are able to make deliveries on time and in full. We meet deadlines without problems.

In short, these are the material trends we need to know. Some repeat this year, like steel, which should not surprise us. All have qualities that make them unique and give them high value. Thanks to them, we can manufacture all kinds of parts for multiple industries.
