Abstract

The aim of this research is to identify the optimum levels of leading laser cutting parameters for accomplishing precise cut geometry with better quality for cutting of newly developed Basalt-Glass-Kevlar 29 hybrid FRP composite laminate. The total of 42 experiments have been performed on a 2.34 mm thick laminate using a 250W pulsed Nd:YAG laser cutting system. Lamp current, pulse width, standoff distance, compressed air pressure, and cutting speed have been selected as variable laser cutting parameters. Thereafter, grey relational analysis approach has been adopted to single index optimization of top and bottom kerf deviation, simultaneously. These optimal solutions have been validated by comparing the results of confirmation experiments and found satisfactory improvement. Standoff distance has been observed as the most influencing parameter for both top and bottom kerf deviation.
