Assist Gases
 Air Products offers a full range of pure assist gases for laser
cutting of all material types.
Which gases are used?
- Carbon
and alloy steels – oxygen or nitrogen (high pressure)
- Stainless
steels, aluminium & alloys – nitrogen (high
pressure)
- Magnesium,
titanium & other reactive materials – argon
(high
pressure)
Each gas has unique properties which make it the preferred assist
gas for cutting each of the material groups.
All of these gases are available in a range of convenient and
cost effective gas supply options.
How do I cut steel up to 20% faster?
Generally required at pressures up to 10 barg oxygen is available
at two purity levels:
- Industrial
grade (min. 99.5% oxygen
- Lasergas
grade (min. 99.95% oxygen)
The standard industrial product is the most widely used and
is suitable for all material grades and thickness’. However,
the Lasergas grade delivers:
- Increased
cutting speeds (up to 20% faster)
- Reduced
kerf width and improved cut quality
