Laser Annealing Near Warrington on Stainless Steel – Jones Nuttall Ltd

In this case study we visit our customer Jones Nuttall Ltd. We currently do laser processing on a number of their industrially machined components. In this example we see the laser annealing of a stainless steel front panel for one of their customers. The information that is on the product is instructional data for operators of this particular product.

Laser annealing stainless steel is processed on our inhouse 20 watt SPI Fiber system with a f-160 F-theta lens. The pictured product is processed with three separate passes in order to establish the required contrast of black on stainless steel. The customer did not want the surface to be damaged so the annealing of the stainless steel is the best approach, as this changes the colour of the stainless steel without any damage to the surface. Depending on the laser parameters used, it is possible to get a wide variety of colour markings of the surface. This does heavily depend on the repeatability of the steel used and can change from batch to batch.

The component is located in one of universal jigs that we use on lots of different customer components as a method to quickly and accurately locate parts. These marks are repeatable to a greater accuracy than 0.1mm. For better tolerances or more detailed parts, separate bespoke jig can be made and used by ourselves.
