Laser marking is a technology that utilizes a high-energy laser beam to process the surface of a material, changing the physical or chemical properties of the surface of the material through the thermal action of the laser, thus forming a permanent mark or pattern on the material. Laser marking is widely used in product identification, barcode, two-dimensional code, serial number and other information marking, and its applicable materials include metal, plastic, glass, ceramics and so on.
Working Principle
The working principle of laser marking mainly includes the following steps:
Laser emission:
In laser marking equipment, a laser generates a high energy laser beam. These lasers can be solid-state, gas or fiber lasers.
Focusing:
The laser beam is focused by a lens system, which increases the energy density of the laser beam substantially and is able to generate high temperatures on the surface of the material.
Material Surface Treatment:
The focused laser beam irradiates the surface of the material and locally heats, melts or evaporates the material through thermal effects. The laser can be set to different powers, frequencies and speeds depending on the marking requirements.
Marking formation:
Under the action of the laser, the surface of the material changes color or forms depressions or cuts to form the desired pattern or text. Different types of lasers interact with the material in different ways, so different marking effects can be achieved.
Cooling:
During the marking process, the part of the material that is not hit by the laser is not affected and remains at room temperature, thus avoiding material damage due to overheating.

1. What is the principle of stainless steel laser marking?
Stainless steel laser marking utilizes a high-energy laser beam focused on the surface of stainless steel, which causes the material to undergo physical and chemical changes through instantaneous high temperatures, resulting in long-lasting markings. These markings can be text, patterns, 2D codes or serial numbers etc.
2. What do I need to pay attention to when marking stainless steel with a laser marking machine?
Laser selection: generally choose fiber laser marking machine, because of its excellent performance in metal materials marking.
Marking parameter settings: according to the specific type of stainless steel material and surface treatment need to adjust the laser power, frequency, speed and other parameters to ensure the marking quality.
Marking depth: too shallow depth may not be clear, too deep will affect the strength of stainless steel.
3. How durable is laser marking?
Laser marked markings usually have good durability, able to withstand scratches, chemical corrosion and high temperatures and other external environmental impacts. The specific durability depends on the material of the stainless steel, the surface treatment and the marking process.
4. Can I mark on coated stainless steel?
Yes, but this requires special attention. The laser will burn off the coating during the marking process, so it may be necessary to choose the right parameters to avoid damaging the substrate and to ensure a clear mark.
5. How do I deal with the smoke generated after laser marking?
Fumes and gases are generated during the laser marking process. It is recommended to have a fume extraction system or ventilation to ensure a clean and safe working environment.
6. What is the maintenance and care of the laser marking machine?
Regular cleaning: Keep the optical lens and laser generator clean to avoid dust affecting the marking effect.
Check the electrical system: Regularly check electrical connections and components to prevent malfunctions.
Software updates: Keep your marking software up to date to ensure optimum performance and compatibility.
7. Is laser marking environmentally friendly?
Laser marking is relatively environmentally friendly because it usually does not require the use of ink or other chemical materials, reducing waste generation. In addition, the exhaust gases and fumes generated during the laser marking process can be purified with proper treatment equipment.
8. What is the difference between laser marking and other marking methods?
Laser marking offers greater precision, durability and flexibility than traditional marking methods such as silk-screening, etching and stamping. Laser marking can mark complex shapes and materials without the need to change molds or stencils.
9. What is the cost of laser marking?
The cost of laser marking is affected by a number of factors, including equipment purchase costs, operating costs, consumables (e.g., electricity), and maintenance costs. While the initial investment in equipment is relatively high, the efficiency of laser marking and the low cost of consumables can significantly reduce the cost per unit of production in the long run.
