Laser fusion cutting is mainly used for the cutting of non oxidizable materials or active metals such as stainless steel titanium aluminum and alloys.
Laser it aluminum settings.
Aluminum is one of the most commonly marked substrates and is used in many industries.
The type of substrate thickness of the substrate and the substrate s ability to conduct heat will influence the power needed to make a mark on it.
Want to guarantee successful laser marking on anodized aluminum.
For example aluminum conducts heat much better than steel so it will.
Follow these four simple tips.
The ideal is a white metallic mark which is consistent across the mark area the picture on the far left.
It is sometimes difficult to determine the best laser power and speed settings for cermark materials.
When using cermark metal marking solution remember that not all metals use the same speed setting.
There are numerous variables that affect what settings you should use.
The following are suggested laser cutter configuration settings for various materials.
The laser fusion cutting does not require the complete vaporization of the metal the required energy is only 1 10 of the vaporization.
Also available is a laser cutter user guide.
What are you looking for.
It looks good when the aluminum is anodized but white marking is not ideal for bare and cast aluminum.
Typically with lighter marking intensity aluminum will turn white.
Power settings that are too high can melt and distort many materials.
More intense laser settings provide a dark grey or charcoal color.
All settings noted use the default resolution which is 500 or 600 depending on the make of your laser system.
