Steel

Laser marking of steel

Ordinary steel is one of the most widely used metals in industry, mainly due to its price, durability and versatile properties. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is used in the automotive industry to track vehicles and parts through the manufacturing process. The aim is to create an indelible, legible marking that cannot be mechanically removed. To improve traceability, the letters can have special fonts and specific parameters to create distinctive grooves in the description. Deep steel engraving often creates scaling and blackening around the marking area, but by simply adjusting the laser, the area can be cleaned up to the final desired appearance.

Stainless steel

A special and perhaps the most used type of steel is stainless steel. Due to its excellent universal properties, it is used across all industries. From food as stainless steel utensils, to functional and design elements of cars in the automotive industry.

Even though it is a hard metal, marking it is easy and, in addition, by varying the laser beam settings, we are able to mark pure stainless steel with different colours without using any additional material. Thus, markings of different colours as well as many design images can be achieved. This marking is achieved by hardening the stainless steel with a certain temperature between 300 and 1400 degrees Celsius. This application can be carried out, for example, with our higher-end LLS-F20EP fibre laser. According to the requirement for permanence of the marking, especially due to the stresses on the stainless steel during use, the stainless steel can also be engraved very well and quickly.
