Introduction

Fiber laser engraving is a state-of-the-art technology that allows for precise and efficient markings on a wide range of materials. The versatility and precision of fiber lasers have made them indispensable tools in various industries, including manufacturing, jewelry, electronics, and automotive industries. This article provides an in-depth overview of the materials that can be engraved using fiber laser technology.

Materials Suited for Fiber Laser Engraving

Metals

Fiber lasers are exceptionally efficient at engraving metals due to their high energy density and short wavelength. Metals such as aluminum, copper, brass, and stainless steel can be engraved with high precision. The typical power settings for metal engraving range between 20W to 50W, with scan speeds between 500 mm/sec to 2000 mm/sec depending on the depth and resolution required.

Plastics

Fiber lasers can also engrave certain plastics, primarily those with a higher melting point such as polycarbonate, ABS, and polyamide. Engraving parameters for plastics typically involve lower power settings, around 10W to 30W, with slower scan speeds to prevent melting or warping of the material.

Ceramics

Ceramics can be engraved using fiber lasers, though the process is more challenging due to the brittle nature of ceramics. Precise control over the laser's power, which may range from 20W to 30W, and scan speed is necessary to prevent cracking.

Composite Materials

Composite materials, which are combinations of metals and non-metals, can be engraved with fiber lasers. The key is to tailor the laser parameters to the specific composition of the material. Typical settings might include a 30W power level and a scan speed of 1000 mm/sec for optimal engraving results.
