16.8 Marking/Labelling
All electrically conductive metal surfaces can be labelled using the
appropriate electrolyte.
A distinction is made between dark and light marking.
Dark
marking is a targeted oxidation process, which takes place within
the metal surface.
No superficial application of colour particles.
Therefore, permanent and forgery-proof!
Not ideal for non-ferrous metals.
Light
marking or negative marking is also known as "etching".
In contrast to dark marking, material is removed from the surface
during this process, in places where there are micro-perforations in
the templates.
Light marking is preferably used on aluminium materials and high-
gloss surfaces.
Aluminium materials cannot be dark marked
Use our Marking electrolytes for light marking, which have been
specially designed for the process.
Prepare the workpiece and the marking stamp in the same way as for
dark marking.
For light marking, proceed in the same way as for dark marking.
The marking time is longer, however,
~ 3 - 5 sec.
Pay attention to the position of the selector
