    Marking Stainless using CO2 laser 60 Watt

    Hello Friends,

    i have something news to share.
    Today i could make some marking on stell and stainless Steel using my laser.
    just coat that steel using etching chemical.
    After that put it on laser.
    i using speed 5 power 40. ( usually use that for cutting acrylic )
    have good result with that.

    when i use engraving mode, my speed 200 power 50 distance 0.05
    but still don't have good result, the marking gone when i scratch with nail.

    Please share your comment and your result with your laser.

    Regards,
    Huahahahahaha

    Which etching chemical did you use? Did you use Cermark or the Brasso/clay mix?

    Can we see a picture?

    i still don't have time to try laser etching again.
    but i found the problem, why the result is bad.
    i not cover all area perfectly with that solution. ^_^
    because i just want to try that time, and not hope will success.
    this is the pic.
    in the outline, i use configuration for cutting acrylic. ( low speed, high power )
    the letter, using graving configuration.



    btw, i also could colouring the acrylic, without losing its transparancy effect.

    That is a good start.

    Maybe you would have to laser it 2 times to make it darker?

    Hi

    These are additive processes (which bond or combine with the base material).

    This is the only option for a low power CO2 laser. It does not create an engraving/etching mark so has no depth for you to fill, but depending on the pigment in the chemical additive you will get a visible mark that is unable to be removed without physically damaging the base metal.

    If you want to create an etching, Nd:YAG or Yb:YAG will work well, you can also use a chemical etching process (with laser cut mask), or the simplest would be a CNC router with engraving bit.

    Zax.

    ATREX 7031®
    generates a 0.1 mm deep, white, or dark mark, on: Stainless steel.
    It was not development to be fill manually with other paint. It was made to engrave a deep ; if you look for permanent black mark we have codige 7007/7011/7015.

    Of course to create an etching, Nd:YAG or Yb:YAG will work well, you can also use a chemical etching process (with laser cut mask), or the simplest would be a CNC router with engraving bit.
    It is think to let work with low power CO2 laser machines , getting more option to work with this type of laser machines. (not only cut and engrave soft materials)
