| ABSTRACT Laser cutting is one of the most important non-conventional manufacturing processes due to its unique properties and advantages. It is a multi-parameter technology. This fact has resulted in some gaps in available information, and a few of contradictory reports about the exact effect of each process parameter on the surfaces produced, and makes quick parameters selection for obtaining a desired cut quality problematic, especially for new laser types. Fiber lasers have only very recently come into prominence, and the literature is still very sparsely populated with data on their performance. This paper outlines the use of a scoring model of Projection to Latent Structure (PLS) technique and applies it to study the effects of fiber laser cutting process parameters and their interactions on the quality achieved during cutting mild steel sheets. The effects of the interaction of the main process parameters on the quality output variables such as top kerf width, surface roughness and the striation depth are studied. Scoring models are proposed to relate the quality and the laser cutting parameters. | ||||
