Influence of laser marking on stainless steel surface and corrosion resistance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Laser marking is the modern industrial application for non-contact surface modification. An incidence of a laser beam on the marked surface causes material and structural changes, which lead to optical changes of the surface. The processes during the laser-surface interaction can also affect other surface properties, especially corrosion properties in the case of stainless steel. Laser marking of stainless steel using the pulsed fiber laser SPI G3 is described in the contribution. Possibilities and limitations of steel laser marking are discussed. Some of the latest results of the material analysis and corrosion tests of the laser treated material are presented. Examples of laser marking influence on steel surface, structure and corrosion properties are shown.

Influence of Laser Ablation on Stainless Steel Corrosion Behaviour
Laser ablation is the method for material removing from a surface using pulsed lasers. It is used for surface structuring, laser drilling or laser marking. A change of the corrosion behavior of a base material caused by thermal effects during laser processing is an important problem of this technology. Possibilities of surface modification of stainless steel using laser ablation are presented i...
متن کاملEffect of Crystallographic Orientation on the Pitting Corrosion Resistance of Laser Surface Melted AISI 304L Austenitic Stainless Steel
The localized corrosion behavior of laser surface melted 304L austenitic stainless steel was studied by potentiodynamic polarization test. The extent of improvement in corrosion resistance was governed by the preferred orientation and the percentage of delta ferrite present on the surface of the laser melted sample. It was established by orientation imaging microscopy that the highest pitting p...
متن کاملInfluence of low-temperature nitriding on the strain-induced martensite and laser-quenched austenite in a magnetic encoder made from 304L stainless steel
We have investigated the possibility of producing a magnetic encoder by an innovative process. Instead of turning grooves in the encoder bar for precise positioning, we incorporated the information in 304L stainless steel by transforming the austenite to martensite after bar extrusion in liquid nitrogen and marking it with a laser, which caused a local transformation of martensite back into aus...
متن کاملEffects of Surface Treatment on Corrosion Resistance of 304L and 316L Stainless Steel Implants in Hank’s Solution
The enormous demands for metal implant have given rise to a search for cheap material with good bio-tolerability and resistance to corrosion. Although stainless steel has these properties and is widely used for this purpose, its long term application is still a concern. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel depends on the passive layer. Herein, chemical surface treatment, including passiv...
