Laser Engraving And Marking: Metals That Are Mostly Preferred For The Job

The process of laser engraving or marking is one of the most preferred ways of inscribing on metal surfaces, where in a focussed beam of laser light is used to carry out the process. While this process can be implemented on various materials surfaces, there are certain materials that may not be so suitable as well. Material surfaces that are fragile and sensitive to lasers cannot be subjected to lasers. However material surfaces that are durable and tolerant to lasers can be successfully used to carry out the task of laser engraver and marking. Naming a few material surfaces that are commonly used, Aluminium both anodized and non-anodized, Stainless Steel are the ones that are extensively preferred, but all the same magnesium and lead also can be categorised as the metal surfaces that are suitable for the job. A deeper review reveals why these metal surfaces are considered as ideal surfaces for laser engraving and marking. Aluminium is such a metal that is very wid...
