THE EFFECT OF SCAN SPEED ON ENGRAVING DEPTH AND SURFACE ROUGHNESS OF AISI H13 TOOL STEEL

摘要

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of scan speed and frequency on surface roughness and engraving depth of AISI H13 hot work tool steel. The experimental studies were conducted by fiber laser marker machine. The relationship between the parameters is showed that the highest surface roughness and depth values were achieved at lowest scan speed (125mm/s). The depth and surface roughness of engraved geometry was decreased at increase in scan speed. It was concluded that, the surface roughness and depth can be controlled by scan speed and frequency.
