Which risk increases when a high-power laser is misaligned in laser cutting?

💡 Explanation

Increased HAZ results from a laser beam hitting material outside the intended cut path because the gaussian distribution of energy heats more area, increasing the energy delivered rather than achieving clean vaporization. Therefore, expect increased material damage.
