Laser Marking
Laser marking or burning is a general technique in which the laser interacts with the material to create a durable, high-contrast mark on the surface.
- Laser marking is commonly applied to metals
- The mark is durable with a medium to dark contrast
The Details
General marking aggressively burns the surface of the material. Depending on the substrate, the mark will vary in color from medium brown to black or gray. The marked surface will feel rough to the touch and feature areas of rise and fall on the material. This creates a durable result on the component.
Best Materials for Laser Marking
Laser marking on steel and stainless steel is utilized in a variety of industries, including healthcare, oil and gas, automotive, and beyond. For an in-depth laser marking finish, deep laser engraving can be considered for a clearer and complete result.
Create custom marks on aluminum products for your application with our laser marking systems. With a MOPA fiber laser, the process of marking aluminum includes removing a small portion of the aluminum to create a clear and high-contrast finish on your cans, identification plates, and electronics.
Brass is a type of metal alloy comprised of copper and zinc. Brass is also a commonly marked material since it has a low melting point and high thermal conductivity, which makes it easier to etch into its surface. Our laser marking systems can even accommodate painted coatings, such as black oxide, Cerakote, and anodized coatings, depending on your application expectations.
Copper laser marking is most notably utilized in high-technology applications, such as clocks and watches, semiconductors, and laptops. And like brass, copper has a high electrical conductivity, making it easier to make precise and durable marks that are designed to last.
yes When laser marking titanium, you can create precise, intricate designs that can be easily replicated and transferred onto larger applications if needed. Our MOPA fiber laser technology can also be used to customize your titanium parts with vibrant colors via changes in speed, frequency, and focus.
Having a laser workstation for laser marking carbide is perfect for engraving drill bits, tools, and more. So, if you’re working in an industry that utilizes these bits for your everyday projects, such as general industrial applications, having a system to make definitive and clear markings will help differentiate and identify your equipment.

The Absolute Best Customer Service Around
I’ve learned how awesome laser marking is! The new station for laser marking is creating a lot of buzz around our shop floor and in our offices and we are very happy with the performance of the EMS400. Everyone can’t believe how fast it is.
I have been nothing but pleased with the entire process and relationship I have had with TYKMA Electrox. I bought a Minilase a couple years ago and everything went off without a hitch.
The TYKMA Electrox Minilase 20W fiber laser has been a great asset for us. We were able to quickly migrate our production from older laser technology to the Minilase. It produces a higher-quality mark in less time.
