Abstract
The paper deals with the features of assist gas flow in gas-laser cutting of 10 mm steel plates. It is established that distribution of tangential stresses on the melt surface depends on the position of the gas jet axis relative to the entrance face of the penetration channel. The possibility of ensuring a uniform distribution of tangential stresses on the melt surface in a broad range of working gas excess pressure is shown.
