A CO2 laser can engrave stainless steel with a pre-treatment applied, or a fiber laser can also engrave or etch stainless steel. Stainless steel is also suitable for laser annealing. Deep laser engraving is commonly used for marking stainless steel.

Processing with a laser causes a noticeable colour change on the metal – right through to a deep, dark-black colour. Black marking also creates a strong contrast and a very matte appearance, without reflections. This noticeably increases the manual and automatic legibility of even the smallest of pixels.

Stainless steel engraving can be achieved by various technologies, from laser to dot-peen marking. See which one best suits your needs.
