What is Laser Annealing?
Lasers, with their versatile capabilities in engraving, etching, cutting, marking, and drilling, are a sought-after tool in the manufacturing industry. Among these techniques, laser annealing is one unlike any other that makes metals easier to process.
Laser annealing is a contact-free process that uses an infrared laser beam to rearrange the atoms on a metal’s surface. This rearrangement essentially draws the carbon content of a ferrous metal to the top, creating a jet-black contrasting mark with no damage to the surface or change to the material's mechanical properties. In this blog, we’ll discuss what laser annealing is, the process, its benefits, and many applications.
