Surface protection sheet for laser material processing

摘要

The object of the present invention is provision of a surface protection sheet for laser processing to be applied to the surface on the opposite side of the laser beam irradiation face, which can protect the surface of an application object, and does not allow easy development of a dross during laser cutting processing. According to the present invention, a surface protection sheet 1 for laser processing to be applied to the surface on the opposite side of the laser beam irradiation face 2a of a workpiece 2 during a cutting process by irradiation of a laser beam 6 on the workpiece 2 is provided, which contains a substrate layer and an adhesive layer formed on one surface of the substrate layer, wherein the substrate layer is made of a resin material having a melt viscosity measured based on JIS K7199 (1999) at 290° C. of not more than 200 Pa·s, and has a thickness of 0.01-0.12 mm.

1. A method for preventing development of a dross on a surface opposite to a laser beam irradiation face of a stainless steel plate during a laser cutting process, comprising: providing a stainless steel plate having a surface protection sheet adhered to a surface of the stainless steel plate on an opposite side of a face of the stainless steel plate to be subjected to a laser beam irradiation, which sheet comprises a substrate layer and an adhesive layer formed on one surface of the substrate layer, wherein the substrate layer is made of at least one resin material selected from the group consisting of poly(ethylene terephthalate) and low density polyethylene, wherein the resin material has a melt viscosity measurement based on JIS K7199 (1999) at 290° C. of 20-100 Pa·s, wherein the substrate layer has a thickness of 0.02-0.05 mm, and cutting by irradiation process of a laser beam from a carbon dioxide gas laser on the stainless steel plate while blowing 0.5-1.5 MPa assist gas, wherein the surface protection layer sheet together with the stainless steel plate are cut during the cutting process, and wherein a height of the dross is suppressed to 0.5 mm or less.
