What materials can a fiber laser marking machine engrave?(https://www.cnmarking.com/laser-marking-machine)
A fiber laser marking machine is a common type of laser marking equipment on the market. It uses fiber as a transmission medium, and the laser wavelength is 1064nm, hence the name "fiber laser marking machine". It is also known as a "metal laser marking machine" due to its wide range of applications, primarily for metal materials and some non-metal materials.
The principle of operation is to remove the surface layer of the material through laser ablation, thus forming a marking.
Metal Materials: Both ferrous and non-ferrous metals can be engraved. Ferrous metals include iron, copper, manganese, and steel. Non-ferrous metals include tin alloys, aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, copper alloys, aluminum alloys, zinc alloys, as well as gold, silver, copper, iron, and aluminum.
Plastic Materials: Hard plastics like ABS are relatively easy to engrave. While there are many types of plastics, generally, the harder and darker the material, the easier it is to engrave with a fiber laser marking machine. Plastics with added laser colorants can produce more aesthetically pleasing results.
However, the specific engraving effect depends on the overall properties of the material. It is recommended to engrave a sample first to determine the best results.
