Along with this dataset, the simulation parameters are tabulated in Table 3. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show depth changes during laser cutting of copper and aluminum depending on elapsed time, respectively. Depth values are measured from the material surface (Z=0) to the tip of penetration hole, which is the minimum Z value of the liquid/vapor interface coordinate(Z=min()) [1]. Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 show kerf width changes during the laser cutting of copper and aluminum depending on elapsed time, respectively. Kerf width values are measured from the center of the laser beam to the maximum width of deep penetration in Y axis, which is the maximum Y value of the liquid/vapor interface coordinate (Y=max()) [1]. Since, the proposed mathematical model [1] uses a symmetric coordinate, the attained kerf width values are doubled to fully represent the whole kerf width. Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 show absorptivity changes during laser cutting of copper and aluminum depending on elapsed time, respectively. Absorptivity is obtained as a ratio of an absorbed laser energy, after considering multiple reflections, to an irradiated laser energy.
