i want to know HOW lasers cut the steel.. and wat else lasers are used for for industrial things

Lasers cut through metal by heating a specific area of the surface too quickly for the heat to spread and diffuse. The metal becomes very hot and eventually starts to melt.

Laser Cut - 10mm Mild Steel

    lasers have very high intensity in them…tht make the bonds break in the metal and so it can be cut easily..

    Laser is light but its very intense. when laser fall on steel the light energy turns into heat that destroy the bond between steel atoms just as if you heated the steel. maybe i'm wrong i don't know.

    put simply the intense heat that the laser creates melts the steel at the point of contact.

    very well

    Lasers can cut (actually they burn) through anything..
    depends on their strength we used them in the military to mark targets! miles away and the blow em to smithers with laser guided amoo bombs etc

    simple its the temperature……one thing hotter than the other will always win!

    By using high intensity light, which in effect produces very high temperatures at the point of contact, thereby melting, or destroying the bond between the steels atoms.

    A laser is nothing more than a concentrated beam of light. Do you remember using a magnifying glass on a sunny day to burn a piece of wood or something…? Its the same principle only MUCH stronger. These new high power lasers use highly concentrated photon (light) particles to achieve the intense heat needed for tasks like cutting steel.
    I suggest you search the net for a more comprehensive answer as Im no expert & can only give you a rough idea.

    Zap 10 points this way :-)

    Lasers cut steel through the same mechanism as any other thermal cutting process. The steel is vaporized by the intense heat.

    Lasers are used in industrial processes for general cutting, but are also used for light marking and labelling.
