Cut face, dross and corner defects
Dross, burrs, wavy faces, corner burn, kerf width and pierce failure: how each defect is read, and what actually settled it on the machine. The shape and the position of the defect usually tell you where to look before you touch a single parameter.

- Molten slag left behind in the corners, with localised burning and pitting on the cut face.

切割拐角处残留熔渣烧蚀,局部切面凹凸破损
- Wavy ripple pattern across the cut face — the face is not flat and the amplitude grows with thickness.
Original record
切割断面出现凹凸波浪纹路,切面不平整
- On a bevelled face one side cuts clean and the other does not — usually a focus or gas-axis problem, not power.
Original record
倾斜面切割两面好,两面差
- Square-cornered parts: burning at the corner on carbon steel, dross at the corner on stainless. Corner dwell and lead-out matter more here than speed.

切割带直角零件时,如果解决碳钢拐角烧边或者不锈钢拐角挂渣的问题。
- Oxygen pressure too low — molten slag cannot be expelled, so it re-solidifies on the bottom edge.
Original record
氧气压力不足,熔渣排不干净
- Cutting speed too high — the material is not fully penetrated before the head moves on.
Original record
切割速度过快,熔透效果差
- Rack-and-pinion backlash combined with overly aggressive acceleration.
Original record
导轨齿条间隙大、加减速参数高
- Unstable cutting speed traced back to an acceleration parameter that is set too high.
Original record
切割速度不稳、加速度参数过高
- To cut down piercing spatter: shorten the piercing duty cycle and use more negative focus, enable lead-in and lead-out, tune the curve power, and put small round holes on their own layer with reduced power and speed.

减少穿孔渣子(可调小穿孔占空比和增大负焦穿孔),启用起刀和收刀工艺,调节曲线功率,可分图层调小圆切割工艺及速度
- The four-step fallback for a stubborn dross problem: slow the feed, raise gas pressure, raise the focus, and fit a nozzle one size larger.
Original record
减慢速度,加大气压,拉高焦点,更换大一号喷嘴
- Start the cut with a slow lead-in, or add a circular lead-in at the start of the lead line, to stop burn marks at the entry.
Original record
起刀用慢起点或使用在引线起点加圆孔引入
- Position drift diagnosis: round holes came out as a sine curve. Once the arc itself is distorted the offset accumulates into a position error.

加工偏位的思路--- 圆孔切成正玄曲线导至偏位
- Check whether the sheet is sitting too far off level — an uneven support bed mimics a hundred other faults.
Original record
检查板子摆放是否倾斜过大
- Will not sever, will not pierce, will not cut through — treat these as one family and check focus, gas and nozzle diameter first.
Original record
切不断 切不穿 切不透
- Serrated, saw-tooth edge on the cut face — check acceleration limits and the belt or rack for lost motion.
Original record
激光切割为何会出现锯齿现象
- Kerf measurably wider than it used to be — check focus position, nozzle wear and whether the lens has degraded.
