Abstract The cladding of fast reactor fuel rods, made of stainless steel, presents significant challenges in cutting due to its ductility, which leads to increased tool wear and poor cut quality with traditional mechanical methods. Laser cutting has emerged as a superior alternative, offering non-contact precision, high efficiency, and suitability for radioactive environments. This study systematically investigates the effects of laser cutting parameters—cutting speed, focal position, power, and gas pressure—on the cutting quality of simulated fast reactor fuel rods. The results show that optimal cutting is achieved with a cutting speed of 1 m/min, a focal position between − 20 and − 25 mm, a laser power between 7200 and 9600 W, and a gas pressure of 10 MPa. These parameters provide the best balance between cutting efficiency, surface roughness, and minimal slag formation. This study contributes valuable insights into optimizing laser cutting technology for nuclear fuel rod processing, with potential applications in fuel reprocessing and decommissioning. |
