Technological breakthroughs of laser cutting machines in the processing of CT tungsten steel electrodes
CT tungsten steel electrodes are widely used in industrial flaw detection and precision testing due to their high hardness and high temperature resistance. Traditional processing methods are prone to edge collapse or thermal damage, affecting the conductivity and service life of the electrode. Laser cutting technology provides an innovative solution for the high-quality preparation of tungsten steel electrodes through precise energy control and non-contact processing.
Laser cutting instantly vaporizes the material through ultra-fast pulse beams, and the heat-affected zone is extremely small, avoiding microcracks and surface oxidation caused by traditional wire cutting or electric spark processes.
CT electrodes often need to be processed with microhole arrays or special-shaped tips to adapt to detection needs. Laser equipment can complete 0.1mm-level fine structure processing on high-hardness tungsten steel through dynamic spot adjustment and multi-axis linkage, breaking through the physical limitations of traditional tools, and supporting personalized electrode design and rapid iteration.
The laser process does not require mold and electrode loss, and the processing time of a single piece is shortened by 70% compared with traditional methods, which is especially suitable for small batch and multi-variety production. At the same time, the characteristics of no coolant pollution meet the clean workshop standards and reduce environmental protection management costs.
Laser cutting technology reshapes the tungsten steel electrode processing system with its "high precision and zero damage" characteristics, providing reliable technical support for the fields of industrial inspection and medical equipment. In the future, with the popularization of intelligent laser systems, electrode manufacturing will move towards a new stage of intelligent manufacturing with higher efficiency and lower cost.
