HERMDECO stainless steel laser engraving process - a precise journey from idea to finished product

Stainless steel laser engraving technology combines precision manufacturing with visual aesthetics, and is suitable for a wide range of scenarios from industrial nameplates to personalized customization. Through scientific material selection, reasonable parameter settings and standardized operating procedures, even beginners can complete professional-level engraving works in a short time.

 

With the increasing demand for personalized customization and high-end precision processing, stainless steel laser engraving technology is increasingly used in decoration, industry, gifts, logos and other fields. Compared with traditional chemical etching or mechanical cutting, laser engraving has the advantages of high precision, non-contact and pollution-free, and can present clear and lasting patterns, texts or graphics on the surface of metals such as stainless steel.

 

This article will comprehensively analyze the relevant processes and procedures of stainless steel laser engraving, from equipment principles, application projects, to operation steps and technical suggestions, to systematically sort out the professional knowledge behind laser engraving for you.

 

1. Stainless steel laser engraving and machine introduction

 

Stainless steel laser engraving uses a high-energy laser beam to irradiate the surface of stainless steel, causing the surface layer of the material to melt or oxidize, thereby achieving the processing effect of patterns, text or textures.

 

 

Common laser engraving equipment includes:

Fiber laser

➤ High energy density, fast speed, high precision, suitable for metal engraving, especially stainless steel deep engraving, marking and other industrial uses.

 

CO₂ laser

➤ Infrared beam output, suitable for multi-material engraving, including coated stainless steel or stainless steel plates that need to be pretreated.

 

Diode laser

➤ Compact structure, suitable for entry-level DIY applications, suitable for light engraving of thin stainless steel parts.

 

Different types of lasers are suitable for different demand scenarios. For example, fiber lasers are recommended for industrial batch engraving, while portable diode laser machines are more suitable for small customized gifts.
