METALLERE MARKALAMA
Marking Metal around a circumference
Process Date: October 1999
1”-diameter metal tube, marked with a Synrad 100-watt sealed CO2 laser and FH-Series
“Index” Marking Head at 2” per second. Synrad’s FH-Series “Index” Marking Head was
used with a 125mm focal length lens to mark this metal cylinder. Non-distorted characters
were marked a distance of 0.75” around the 1” diameter tube.CO2 lasers offer significant
cost savings over YAG lasers, which are more commonly known for use in metal marking
applications. In addition, the CO2 laser causes no destruction of the metal, and provides a
safer wavelength than a YAG laser for general industrial use.

Metal marking using a Synrad FH Series Marking Head.
Synrad lasers are used in a variety of industrial applications to mark metals including mild
steel, 300 & 400 series stainless, Inconel, nickel, titanium, tool steel, and titanium nitride.
In addition to easily marking these metals, the CO2 laser creates a permanent and durable
mark.
For this stainless steel sample, a Synrad 125W laser and FH Series marking head was used
to mark text, 2D Data Matrix codes, and a logo. After marking, the stainless steel was left
outside to weather. The photo above clearly shows that while the steel has begun surface
rusting, the laser mark itself is not affected. The lack of oxidation in the dark mark area
appears to be the result of carbon being brought to the surface during the lasing process.

60 W.’lık lazerle çelik otomotiv parçasına markalama
Process Date: October 2002
These 0.125” high characters were marked using an air-cooled t60 laser with a FH marking
head and 80mm lens. The marks were made at a speed of 0.5”/s using 60W, the 18
character mark has a cycle time of 4.8s. An interesting result of marking carbon steels with
a CO2 laser is the rust resistant nature of the marks. The mark behaves similar to hot
rolled steel when exposed to an oxidizing environment. This marking characteristic would
be especially useful in producing durable part number marks on suspension and exhaust
parts.
These 0.125" high characters were marked on a steel automotive part using 60W.

25 W.lık lazerle boyalı alüminyum üzerine şekil ve yazı markalama
Process Date: October 2002
It is well known that CO2 lasers can produce bold marks on anodized aluminum, however CO2
lasers are also capable of ablating painted layers from aluminum to mark logos, part numbers,
and a variety of codes. The 0.75” x 2” logo was marked on the painted aluminum shown in the
photo using a Synrad 25W laser at a speed of 95 inches per second giving a cycle time of 10
seconds. The dog icon was imported as a line drawing from an off the shelf image collection
using WinMark Pro software. Various parts of the image were filled or left unfilled by selecting
a “yes” or “no” option from the drawing format menu. A text font was selected from the
computer font folder and the text filled option was selected “yes”, the text was then skewed to
give the desired look.
