Abstract

The impurities into the volume of a material appear while the elaboration process of the considered material. If a material is non-homogenous, even if we machine this material by means of a classical technology we could remark some differences in the machining process like cutting, drilling a.s.o. even in the process of welding. The impurities may be gaseous or solid. Each kind of impurity has another effect for the classical tool, or for a non-traditional tool i.e. a kind of concentrated energy. Each kind of medium has another reaction versus laser beam, because each medium has other physical characteristics. The modifications of characteristics require modifications of photon beam parameters. Not any laser equipment is prepared to react correct to any kind of material, representing the impurity. To have a high quality machining process, we must know the nature-kind of the impurity, and in the same time, we must assure such components, which are able to react and correct to all kind of impurities which laser beam will meet. The recently generation of lasers are correct gifted, in order to work with materials presenting all kind of impurities.
