alloy 200 nickel cutting

[thermeng2]

Does anyone know how .01 alloy 200 nickel will cut. I need to guess at the feed rate. I have a Mazak stx 48. 1500 watt laser. If you have cut conditions that wouls really help.
Thanks

I would treat it like stainless with N2 assist for starters. Just go slow at first, just remember slow is safe but can cause dross so speed it up if you see dross.
