摘要:
In a method for laser material processing a workpiece (2), in particular for laser cutting or laser welding, wherein by means of a laser beam (1) at least a part of the workpiece (2) is melted and/or vaporized and an irradiation front (3) is formed by adding a relative movement between the laser beam (1) and workpiece (2), according to the invention the surface structure of the irradiation front (3) is adjusted in accordance with a desired processing result. The surface structure of the irradiation front (3) can be adjusted, for example, by suitably selecting beam properties of the laser beam (1), in particular the polarization and/or beam profile.
