[Laser Machine News] Ultrafast Laser High Contrast Corrosion-Resistant Marking Technology on Stainless Steel This article compares the performance of three laser sources—nanosecond, picosecond, and fiber lasers—in creating black markings on 316 stainless steel. The analysis focuses on their performance under salt spray tests and SEM analysis. The picosecond laser exhibited the best corrosion resistance and deep, neutral black markings, while the nanosecond UV laser showed good contrast but with slight color deviation. Fiber lasers produced brighter marks with larger color shifts. The article also discusses the advantages of picosecond lasers in industries like aerospace, medical devices, and automotive manufacturing, where durability and high-quality markings are essential.
