Glossary Of Laser Engraving and Cut Terms
[1] |
Surface Roughness Surface roughness is a measure of the irregularities, deviations, and fine-scale variations present on the surface of a material. In laser engraving, surface roughness is influenced by factors such as laser power, speed, focus, and material composition, which affect the depth and quality of the engraving.
Laser engraving can produce surfaces with a range of roughness levels, from smooth and polished finishes to coarse and textured surfaces, depending on the desired aesthetic and functional requirements. Surface roughness measurements are essential for assessing engraving quality, consistency, and suitability for specific applications, such as printing, coating, or bonding, where surface smoothness and adhesion properties are critical factors. |
