How to Read a Material Test

A material grid test is a systematic approach used to determine the optimal laser settings for marking, cutting, or engraving a specific material. This test is especially useful when working with different materials or when fine-tuning your settings for new projects. By creating a grid of various settings, you can visually compare how different combinations of speed, power, and frequency affect the outcome.

Diode Laser Settings

Stainless Steel Test Grid Diode Laser
- Laser Ink: Brilliance Aerosol Universal Black Metal (BLI101)
- Laser Specs: 40 Watt Diode Laser
- Materials: Stainless steel
- Quick Guides: Application of Laser Marking Ink, Drying Time.
- Disclaimers: Safety Precautions, Best Practices.
- Observations: As you can see the test grid on the left side gave dark mark starting from approximately between 26.7% to 30% power which clearly tells us that you're safe to use BLI101 product at minimum of 10 watt diode laser.
- Recommendation: We would recommend minimum of 10 watt diode laser in order to mark successfully on stainless steel or steel metal type.
(Higher wattage is required for Aluminum Copper and Brass type of similar metals with high heat conductivity index.)..
Note: These are just general guidelines, and settings may vary depending on the laser you are using and the substrate you have for marking.
