Production guidance

This STAINLESS STEEL 316L - Deep Engrave metal record pairs 100% power with 1200 mm/s on Fiber 50W+, using 20 passes, 30 kHz, 0.02 mm hatch spacing, and 200 ns pulse width. Compare every listed field with the source, lens, focus method, and material finish on your machine before transferring the recipe.

1. 1. Deep engrave on 316L stainless. Remove debris between passes. Source: hispeedlaser.com SS deep engrave reference (2024).
2. 2. Treat this as an unverified baseline, not a production preset. A VERIFIED Parameters Library record requires three independent community vouches; an attached proof-burn image provides additional evidence.
3. 3. Bare metal is unforgiving of focus error: re-zero on the actual work surface rather than the bed, and wipe oils off before marking or the mark will read blotchy.
4. 4. MOPA pulse width is the parameter doing the work here — if the result drifts, adjust pulse width before touching power or speed.
5. 5. This is a 20-pass recipe, so cumulative heat is the risk: let the part cool between runs or the later passes will widen the mark.
6. 6. Record the successful result in the Parameters Library so the next production run is repeatable.

The bundled note for this STAINLESS STEEL 316L - Deep Engrave recipe is: “Deep engrave on 316L stainless. Remove debris between passes. Source: hispeedlaser.com SS deep engrave reference (2024).” The source data was reviewed 2026-08-09; no independent vouch or proof-burn image is attached. Label the scrap test with the adjusted values and keep the accepted result with the production job.
