Laser Marking Ceramic Materials

Typically we use 1064 nm fiber lasers for marking parts via melting.

Laser marking ceramic materials.

Our ceramic marking systems achieve the same level of precision and clarity on every single piece of ceramic you choose to mark. Ceramic is an inorganic non metallic solid deriving from clay. Using the laser engraving machine you can engrave letters photos and logos on items made of ceramic like vase ceramic tile ceramic doll etc. Melting causes the material to darken creating a color contrast without fully ablating the surface.

Applications include part identification decorative marking and more. After engraving the surface should be cleaned with a stiff brush to remove loose chips of material. All shapes and sizes of ceramic products or materials are marked. Laser marking materials are available worldwide through ferro s distribution network.

After the form stable material has undergone the firing process it is primarily used in building components domestic articles and art objects. It can be used on a variety of materials such as ceramic tile dinnerware mugs sanitaryware porcelain glassware and other types of glass including automotive glass spandrel glass and container glass. Laser cutting of thin film ceramic is also possible using a co 2 laser producing a clean edge with little discoloration. A method of laser marking ceramic materials glazes glass ceramics and glasses that contain at least one radiation sensitive additive utilizing a laser beam as radiation energy source which is either applied to or focused on the surface of the material to be marked in accordance with the form of the graphic symbols to be reproduced such that a change in color is induced at the irradiated.

Material information about laser engraving and marking of ceramics and porcelain. The laser s energy heats up the ceramic material melting the surface and causing a direct color change. The image or logo on the ceramic added by using laser engraving will have a good quality. Laser processing of ceramics is typically performed using a 10 6 or 9 3 micron co 2 laser with some ceramics also absorbing a 1 06 micron fiber laser wavelength.

Ceramic also can be engraved by our laser engraving machine. The usual depth for laser engraving glass and ceramic materials is 0 012 to 0 015 300 to 375 microns. Lmc 6044p is a premium water based black laser marking paste product that provides an easy environmentally preferred clean up. Laser engraving of ceramics is achieved using a co 2 laser.

Multiple passes are used for glass and ceramic material engraving to avoid excessive heat build up which can cause the material to crack.
