The samples were marked using a 20-watt q-switched ytterbium fiber laser with a 160 mm focal length lens. The carbide parts were surface etched, to create brightly contrasting light marks on the material. They were marked using approximately 11 watts of power, with a...
The parts were marked using a 20 Watt Pulsed Fiber Laser using a 420mm lens. Three trials were made. The fastest marking trial was when 12 Watts of power was used with frequency of 20 kHz and speed of 40″ per second. The cycle time for this trial was 0.61 second...
This anodized aluminum tube was marked with a 20 watt q-switched ytterbium fiber laser at 9 watts with a frequency of 25kHz and 160mm focal length lens. The part was surfaced etched to remove the anodized layer to create the mark. The mark was created at 30 inches per...
