The results of the investigation concerning the influence of engraving parameters on the mark quality and material removal rates from panels made by different types of metals by the Q-switched diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser are presented in this paper. Quality of marks is examined by considering readability and durability as the function of material removed and parameters. The parameters under consideration are: the average power, pulse frequency and surface scanning velocity. The results disclosed that laser engraving can be applied in marking metals successfully.Downloads
