Product Description
The laser engraving process involves using a high-powered laser beam to etch designs, letters, and patterns onto the surface of the aluminum part. This process is highly accurate and produces intricate designs that are impossible to achieve with traditional engraving techniques.
The laser engraving process is also highly efficient and fast, which makes it ideal for mass production. Additionally, it does not require any physical contact between the engraving tool and the aluminum part, which eliminates the risk of surface damage or wear.
One of the major benefits of CNC milling laser engraving aluminum parts is that it provides a highly durable and long-lasting finish. The engraved designs are resistant to fading, chipping, and peeling, which ensures that the parts maintain their appearance and functionality even after years of use.

Product Feature
CNC milling laser engraving aluminum parts are made of 6061 aluminum alloy. It is a widely used material in various industries due to its excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. Here are some key features and numerical parameters of this alloy:
1. Tensile strength: 45 ksi
2. Yield strength: 40 ksi
3. Elongation: 12%
4. Hardness: 95 Brinell
5. Density: 2.70 g/cm³
6. Melting temperature: 582-651 °C
7. Thermal conductivity: 151 W/m-K
8. Electrical conductivity: 43-47% IACS
9. Machinability: good
In comparison to other aluminum alloys, 6061 is favored due to its higher strength and machinability.
For instance, alloy 7075 possesses greater strength but is more difficult to machine.
On the other hand, alloy 5052 has similar machinability but lower strength.
Additionally, 6063 alloy is often considered as an alternative to 6061 for extrusion applications due to its better formability and surface finish. However, 6063 has lower strength and hardness compared to 6061.
Another comparison can be made with alloy 3003, which is commonly used for applications such as cooking utensils and roofing materials. Alloy 3003 has lower strength and hardness than 6061 but offers superior corrosion resistance.

Process
The first step in laser engraving is to create a digital design using computer-aided design (CAD) software.
Next, the laser beam is focused on the material, and the engraving process begins. The laser beam is guided by a computer-controlled system, which ensures that the design is etched accurately. The laser beam burns or cuts into the surface of the material, creating the desired design. The depth of the engraving can be controlled by adjusting the laser's power and speed.
Laser engraving is extremely versatile and can be used to engrave on a wide range of materials, including wood, acrylic, leather, plastic, glass, and metal. The finished product looks professional and precise, and the designs can be incredibly intricate and detailed.
Application
1. One common application of CNC milling laser engraving aluminum parts is in the aerospace industry. Aerospace components require high-precision machining and surface treatments, as they need to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures. They can be used to create various components such as brackets, flanges and housings, while laser engraving can be used to etch part numbers, serial numbers or other identification marks onto the surface of the components.
2. Another industry that commonly uses them and laser engraving is the automotive industry. They can be used to create engine components, transmission parts, suspension parts, and other critical components. Laser engraving can be used to add branding, logos or part numbers onto the surface of the components, improving traceability and quality control.
3. The consumer electronics industry is also a major user of them. Smartphones, laptops and other electronics require precision-machined aluminum parts for their housings, frames, and other components. Laser engraving can be used to create custom designs, logos, and branding on these components, improving their aesthetic appeal and marketability.
4. In the medical industry, they are used to create surgical tools, medical equipment, and implants. Precision-machined aluminum parts are used to create components that are sterile and resistant to corrosion, while laser engraving is used to add identification marks and serial numbers that ensure traceability and quality control.
