In this study, groove-shaped cavities were created with Nd: YAG laser on ZAMAK 5
plates, which have been used frequently in the industry for many years. The necessary laser
parameters have been optimized so that the created cavity floor has a homogeneous depth. The
effects of the beam diameter, laser energy, shielding gas type, and duration of the single pulse of
Nd: YAG laser used on the roughness in the cavity were tried to be optimized. It was used for
optimization. According to the ANOVA table, the optimum parameters are “580µm, 7J, Nitrogen,
7 ms for spot diameter of spot, the energy of single spot, type of ambient gas and a spot of single
pulse respectively. The Taguchi method also indicates how effective the laser parameters used are
in obtaining the desired surface. It has been concluded that the ambient gas used is the most
important parameter in this study. The effect rate was obtained as 74.90 %. Then, laser spot
diameter and pulse energy and lastly pulse duration are fewer effective parameters respectively
