No, infrared thermal beams cannot penetrate metal as they are absorbed or reflected by the metal's surface. Metal is opaque to thermal radiation, so the beam cannot pass through it like it can through certain other materials.

How do you focus infrared laser?

Infrared lasers can be focused using specialized lenses or mirrors. By adjusting the position of the lens or mirror, the laser beam can be shaped and concentrated to a specific focal point. This allows the beam to have maximum intensity at the focused spot for various applications such as cutting, welding, or material processing.
