Laser Etching Brass

laser etching brassBrass is a common material for laser marking applications. Used in a wide variety of industries and applications, brass can be found on and in everything from decorative items to functional parts.

Like most metal marking applications, the marking requirement for laser etched brass applications is a clear, crisp mark. Crisp markings are essential for any laser marked metal and brass is no exception. Brass can be one of the more difficult metals to mark because of its high reflectivity to 1064nm laser light. More power is better than less power when marking brass and a 30 or 50 watt Langolier is a good solution. Either the 30 watt or the 50 watt Langolier is air cooled and plugs directly into a standard 110 outlet making it energy efficient and with no requirement for regular maintenance.
