How to do Deep Engraving using Laser Marking

A Fiber laser machine can be more efficient for deep engravings over the metallic surface. However, you can also use a UV and a CO2 laser marking and engraving machine for deep engraving patterns. If you want aesthetically appealing, well-designed, and touchy engravings. The higher fiber laser beam emissions is quite effective. But there are some limitations up to the 500 microns that metal is engraved deeply. So, we will be discussing here what are deep engravings and how it is done using a fiber laser marking machine.


Machine’s Overview


What is deep engraving?

A laser deep engraving leaves deep, permanent, clear appealing. And precise engraving over metallic or non-metallic surfaces. Additionally, it is done by high-quality and focussed beam emission using a laser machine. However, a skilled operator can determine all the relevant factors on engraving material thickness level and others perfectly. Moreover, deep engraving looks very aesthetically appealing and eye-catchy. As it is made up of multi-layer removal using laser beams vaporization techniques over the material surfaces.

How does a deep laser engraving process work?

Depending upon the material category(most preferred Mild steel, Die steel, and Carbon steel). And the fiber laser output powers, we can expect deep laser engraving work done. So, by using a 20 W and onwards fiber laser marking machine. You can expect the material engravings up to 1.5 mm of depth on mild steel in 2-2.5 hours after thousands of repetitive marking attempts. Additionally, during the laser marking process. We need to clean the marking material using a brush and a cleaner to remove the oxide layers formed. It is helpful in clean and precise deep marking and engraving.

Applications of deep engravings

You can find out the relevance of the major applications of deep engravings. It uses high-tech fiber laser beam emission over metallic materials. Here are some of the applications applicable in the multi-industry:

1. The alternative of chemical etching

The alternative of chemical etching is applicable for marking needs. It includes the nameplates and specification plates. That is made up of steel, aluminum, and other metallic products in large-scale production. So, a fiber laser marking machine does the same work over the metallic sheets for the same application as the chemical etching process does.

However, the significant benefit of using a laser marking machine is that you can modify the text, logo, and designs using a computer command only. But for the chemical etching process, you need to modify them for each category of die and mold. Hence, it reduces the time, cost, and further wastage if you use a laser marking machine with the same effect. As compared to the alternative chemical etching process.

2. Text and logo on dies and molds

Deep engravings use is mostly done in the production of signs, plaques, and nameplates. The engraved details provide a durable and visually appealing method. For displaying information, logos, or decorative elements. So, depending on the dies and mold category, we can choose the efficiency of the machine. It leaves fine and deep engraves patterns on dies and mold and decorative items.

3. Decorative/memorial Annotations

Any decorative items engravings for important memorable occasions. For example, weddings, party dates, and holiday visits. Deep engravings are also used in the creation of decorative art pieces. It includes sculptures, wall hangings, and ornamental objects. In addition, engravings on jewelry, gifts and decorative items, bottle openers, watches, statues, etc.

4. Security and Identification

Deep engravings are helpful in deep engraving patterns of secure identification cards. In addition, credit cards, and other forms of highly secure identification demand in multi-industrial applications. Therefore, it enhances the security features and prevents any kind of counterfeiting. As you know, the noticeable engraved marks, logos, and serial codes. Further, any other forms of secure identification is not easy to polish for the sole purpose of counterfeiting.

5. Jwelery Designing

Deep engravings patterns and appealing marked designs are today’s trends. And, that is most preferred in jewelry diversification. The ornamental categories of wedding rings, and pendants. Moreover, many other gold, silver, diamond, and platinum jewelry modifications are easy to do. With intricate designs, logos, and many other requirements. For more info: aluminum deep engaving.

Benefits of Deep Engraving using Laser Marking

As we have discussed how deep engraving can be used in various application industries. So, we must identify that what are benefits of using fiber laser engraving machines.

  • Dies and chemical not required: By using a fiber laser machine. You get quality deep engraving over various materials without any use of dies and chemicals.
  • Contaminant-free surfaces: As all the process of deep engravings clears the contaminants from the surfaces to make them smooth. So, these ultimately clear the oxide layers, debris, rolling oils, and many others. This makes the metal surfaces long-lasting.
  • Easy modifications: You can modify the designs and other parameters with using easy software and computer command.

Overall, we can manipulate here by all the information shared above. The deep engraving processes are highly recommended in the laser marking industry. In addition, it makes the application industries more profitable in manufacturing, aviation, jewelry diversification, and endless application. However, we must select the correct machines as per the material marking and deep engraving demands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is the accuracy level of deep engraving?

Deep engraving is very accurate and precise. However, you can expect its deep engraving depth of 0.005 inches deep. For more accurate results you can use use 2.5D and 3D laser marking machine.

Q2. Does a laser marking machine use consumables for deep engravings?

No, a laser marking machine does not use any consumables. However, the entire procedure uses the higher fiber laser beam quality over the material for the deep engraving and smoothening processes.

Q3. What is the perfect machine’s power output recommendation for deep engravings?

Although, you can start with a 20W of machine power output. However, for better efficiencies and final output, you can carry forward with 50W and onwards.
