Black marking creates permanent, deep-black, and corrosion-resistant markings. This is due to extremely short laser pulses causing very little heat-affected areas, so that enough free chrome remains on the surface for a self-healing oxide film to form.

Lasers are used in medical technology to permanently mark products such as implants and tools. Markings of implants, surgical tools and medical utensils such as instrument cases must meet stringent requirements. TRUMPF provides turnkey complete solutions for UDI-compliant laser marking which satisfy the medical technology requirements for image processing.
Find out in this study why the combination of TruMark marking lasers with the new passivation method delivers excellent results in term of marking quality and corrosion resistance – and on a worst-case material at that: corrosion-prone steel 1.4112.
This study examines the reprocessing of laser-marked medical-grade stainless steel 1.4301. Conducted under realistic reprocessing conditions the study evaluates how the contrast and legibility of laser marks vary depending on which laser technology is used. The marks examined were applied using nanoseond, picosecond, and femtosecond lasers.
