Fiber Laser Engraving Ceramics

Fiber lasers are optimally suited for metal marking methods such as annealing and metal engraving and for making high contrast markings on plastics.

Fiber laser engraving ceramics.

Melting causes the material to darken creating a color contrast without fully ablating the surface. Xt laser offers a 532nm green laser marking system that is better absorbed by certain ceramics. Laser engraving is a key feature of spi redenergy fiber lasers. Laser engraving of ceramics is achieved using a co 2 laser.

Capable of light to deep engraving spi lasers can be used to engrave all metals and ceramics. Laser cutting of thin film ceramic is also possible using a co 2 laser producing a clean edge with little discoloration. The most common materials are metals and plastics but our lasers are also capable of marking on ceramics composites and semiconductor substrates like silicon. Laser power at least 40 watts of co 2 laser power is recommended for glass and ceramic laser engraving and for glass marking as well as marking certain ceramic materials like zirconia.

In general ceramics are a difficult substrate to laser mark as they do not typically absorb a lot laser light or wavelength. Fiber laser marking on organic insulating material a ceramic substrate ceramic package with han s laser mopa fiber laser technology. We recommend you have test sampling done to determine the best marking technique to apply to your ceramic material. The laser s energy heats up the ceramic material melting the surface and causing a direct color change.

Laser processing of ceramics is typically performed using a 10 6 or 9 3 micron co 2 laser with some ceramics also absorbing a 1 06 micron fiber laser wavelength.
