MaterialSteel, galvanised

This product is a galvanised steel cage, that will contain various materials used in the training of canines. The product required laser marking with the company logo. In this case, we found that the high powered Nd:YAG pulsed laser gave the best results in terms of contrast on the galvanised surface. Although the laser marking took place on a curved surface, the size of mark stayed within the theoretical boundary of marking on a circumference. This ensured the per unit cost was kept to acceptable levels.

laser marking anodised aluminium

Laser marking Anodised Aluminium – Electrical symbols

Anodising has become a dominant form of finishing for aluminium. This is largely due to its cost effectiveness, availability and suitability, across a whole host of applications and industrial sectors. Laser marking anodised aluminium, has also become an accepted process across these industrial sectors.

Anodising is an electrolytic passivation process. It changes the microscopic texture of the aluminium by modifying the crystal structure near the surface. The passivation thickness will be…

Product branding by laser marking anodised Aluminium

A good example of product branding by laser marking is anodised aluminium. It is used in high end audio accessories in the form of cable tidies.  The aluminium is highly polished, prior to anodising, in order to achieve the high gloss finish on the part.

The laser process, delivers small pulses of energy to the component surface. These pulses have enough energy to vaporise the surface of the aluminium where the anodised coating occurs. This exposes the base material, aluminium,…
