Abstract
This paper discusses the mechanisms for emergence of laser-induced plasma (LIP) in fusion CO2 laser cutting of stainless steel plates. Experimental observations and simulation results are presented to explain why cutting at high velocity increases the risk of LIP formation despite the depleted energy input per unit length.
