Which risk increases when a laser cutting machine's speed exceeds the material's melting point's heat absorption rate?

💡 Explanation

Increased heat beyond what the material can absorb and dissipate causes an undesirable expansion of heat affected zones zones because thermal diffusion is increased; therefore the heat-affected zone is proportionally larges, rather than a change to plasmas or surface effects, because those are second order effects.
