METHOD OF LASER LABELING SURFACE OF METAL OR ALLOY Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B23K26/18 B41M5/24 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to method of laser labelling surface of metal or its alloy and can be implemented in machine building, jewellery industry and medicine. The method consists in preliminary plotting a calibration curve of dependence of depth of marking surface of a sample of specified metal or its alloy by means of effect of specific power of radiation incoming on surface. By means of a computer there is generated a protective digital code, where specific depth of marking and specific power of laser radiation correspond to each digit. A mark visible by a naked eye is applied on the marked surface of metal or its alloy by means of laser radiation transferred along marked surface; this mark corresponds to alpha-numeric or graphical information. A protective digital code in form of sequence of recesses invisible to a naked eye is applied on the produced surface visible to a naked eye; this code is marked by laser radiation of specific power chosen from the said calibrating curve.

EFFECT: high level of protection and simplified process.
