What is Laser engraving (marking)?

Laser engraving (marking) capability for titanium components

Laser processing capability for Laser engraving (marking), with precision beam delivery, gas assist systems, and process monitoring for repeatable quality.

Engineering Parameters & Capabilities

Laser engraving on titanium removes material by ablation to create permanent, tactile markings. Unlike laser marking (surface oxidation), engraving produces a measurable cavity depth suitable for logos, part numbers, and decorative features that must withstand wear or post-processing, specifically for titanium components. Precision titanium components present unique challenges: Balancing dimensional accuracy with cost per part. Process selection (mill vs. turn vs. EDM vs. laser) optimized for each feature.

Parameter Primary Method Alternative Method
Depth 10–200 µm (removes material) 0.5–5 µm (surface oxidation only)
Tactile Feel Yes — detectable by touch No — surface level
Durability Survives anodizing, passivation, and wear May fade with abrasion

Frequently Asked Questions

What titanium grades are suitable for Laser engraving (marking)?
Laser engraving (marking) can be performed on Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V), Grade 7, and other grades. The specific grade selection depends on the required mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and end-use application requirements.
What tolerances can be achieved with Laser engraving (marking)?
Typical achievable tolerances for Laser engraving (marking) are Engraving depth: 10–200 µm; line width 0.05–0.8 mm. Tighter tolerances may be possible depending on part geometry, material condition, and quantity. Our engineering team reviews each project to determine the optimal tolerance-cost balance.
What quality certifications apply to Laser engraving (marking)?
All Laser engraving (marking) operations are performed under ISO 9001:2015 — Quality Management System, AS9100D — Aerospace Quality Management, ASTM B265 — Titanium Strip, Sheet, and Plate Standard certified quality management systems. Full traceability documentation, material certifications (EN 10204 3.1), and inspection reports are provided with each shipment.
What is the typical lead time for Laser engraving (marking) projects?
Lead times for Laser engraving (marking) vary by complexity and quantity. Prototype quantities (1-10 units) can typically be completed in 3-7 business days. Production quantities require 15-25 business days. Rush orders are available for qualifying projects. Contact our sales team for a specific timeline.
