VARIETY OF METAL ENGRAVING
Metal engraving is as diverse as the metals themselves. Whether brass, copper or aluminum, almost every metal is suitable for metal engraving. The special thing about every metal engraving is the high level of detail that can be achieved when implementing logos and motifs.
Anodized aluminum works well for metal engraving because it removes the paint layer and exposes the metal underneath. Another option is to color the anodized white by metal engraving. This means the surface is not damaged and the metal engraving remains durable for a long time. In addition, this type of metal engraving creates particularly strong contrasts, especially if the anodized material is in an intense color.
With CO2 engraving, metal objects are pre-treated using a varnish or spray. The pretreated metal parts are then labeled with a fiber laser or provided with a motif. This creates a durable metal engraving.
Deep engravings in stainless steel are also very popular. Here the material is removed to a certain depth and, depending on the intended use, can also be filled with paint.
However, the areas of application for metal engraving have not yet been exhausted. Metal engraving can also be used to clean tarnished metals, such as steel or stainless steel. Dirt or rust can also be removed from metals.
Tempering engravings make it possible to discolor the metal without damaging the surface of the material. Stainless steel, for example, is suitable for this type of marking through metal engraving. Such an engraving impresses with precise, shimmering black lettering, which is long-lasting and can even withstand a sterilizer.
Below in the picture you can see a metal engraving on stainless steel with two different parameters for black and light gray. The material is processed with a different frequency and different power. This leads to strong contrasts and fantastic effects when engraving metal.
Stainless steel laser engraving is a highly precise and durable method of engraving designs, logos, text and other graphics onto stainless steel surfaces. The process of laser engraving allows fine details and complex patterns to be created on the stainless steel, allowing for a variety of applications.
To perform laser engraving, a powerful laser beam is used that locally heats and vaporizes the stainless steel. This creates a permanent engraving that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also resistant to abrasion, scratches and corrosion.
The advantages of laser engraving stainless steel are obvious. Firstly, it is extremely precise, making it possible to engrave fine details and complex designs. Secondly, the engraving is permanent and long-lasting as the laser removes the top layer of the stainless steel, creating a permanent mark. Thirdly, stainless steel laser engraving is versatile and can be applied to various stainless steel products such as signs, plates, cutlery, jewelry and much more.
In addition, laser engraving of stainless steel allows a high degree of flexibility in design. By using special software, complex designs, logos or even individual texts can be created and engraved on the stainless steel. This allows companies to strengthen their brand identity or create customized gifts and memorabilia.
