This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness refers to the measurement of the distance through an object or material from one surface to its opposite surface. It indicates how thick the object or material is.
Empirical Constant - The Empirical Constant is a self-determined constant whose value is accessible from table of such constants. This constant is used to calculate the intrinsic carrier concentration.
Laser Energy during Cut Rate - (Measured in Watt) - Laser Energy during Cut Rate is the energy released from the laser used in LBM.
Vaporisation Energy of Material - (Measured in Watt Per Cubic Meter) - Vaporisation Energy of Material is the energy required to turn the material into vapor.
Laser Beam Area at Focal Point - (Measured in Square Meter) - Laser Beam Area at Focal Point refers to the cross-sectional area of a laser beam at the focal point of a focusing lens or mirror.
Cutting Rate - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Cutting Rate is the rate at which cutting takes place in length per time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Empirical Constant: 0.408 --> No Conversion Required
Laser Energy during Cut Rate: 10.397 Watt --> 10.397 Watt No Conversion Required
Vaporisation Energy of Material: 9.999998 Watt Per Cubic Millimeter --> 9999998000 Watt Per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Laser Beam Area at Focal Point: 2.099999 Square Millimeter --> 2.099999E-06 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Cutting Rate: 10.1 Millimeter per Minute --> 0.000168333333333333 Meter per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t = (A₀*P_out)/(E*A_beam*V_c) --> (0.408*10.397)/(9999998000*2.099999E-06*0.000168333333333333)

Evaluating ... ...

How does Laser Beam Machining work ?

Laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) beam machining (LBM) utilises the energy from the coherent light beams called laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation). The basic principle utilised in LBM is that under proper conditions light energy of a particular frequency is used to stimulate the electrons in an atom to emit additional light with exactly the same characteristics of the original light source.
