Titanium

Color marking on titanium. Adjust speed to shift the hue.

Color marking possible. Vary speed to shift hue.

Deep blue color mark. MOPA excels at titanium color marking vs regular fiber.

Color marking at this speed. Adjust speed ±200mm/s to shift hue.

Blue-gold interference color. Speed and power affect hue.

MOPA pulse width controls colour: 2ns=dark blue, 50ns=gold, 100ns=purple.

Titanium anneals at lower energy threshold than stainless — 2W can produce visible marks and limited color effects. Color range will be narrower than 20W MOPA. xTool confirms IR module compatibility with titanium. Start at 100% power, 300mm/s, and adjust for color. Pulse width not adjustable on F1. | Freq: 50kHz, line interval: 0.04mm

Annealing color varies by exact frequency and power. 30W produces vivid colors well. Same anneal parameters as stainless but titanium responds faster — run test tile. Based on omglaser.com titanium note + LightBurn MOPA color speed thread. | Freq: 100kHz, pulse: 20ns, line interval: 0.02mm

Annealing produces vivid colors on titanium. Low power + high frequency + short pulse = stable oxide colors. Real-world forum data (Tykma 20W): 200mm/s, 35%, 125kHz, .02 line spacing, 2 passes. Colors vary by exact settings — run a frequency/power test tile first. | Freq: 125kHz, pulse: 20ns, line interval: 0.02mm

Colour marking on titanium — gold and bronze tones at 1200mm/min. Slower speed gives warmer colours (gold/bronze), faster gives cooler tones (blue/purple). The LP4's app has a colour marking preset for titanium. Best used on the stand for consistent results.

Colour marking on titanium — the colour changes with speed. At 1200mm/min you get warm gold tones. Slow down to 800mm/min for deeper blue/purple. Speed affects colour more than power on titanium. Always test on a scrap piece first.

Colour marking on titanium — varies with speed. Lower speed = warmer colours (gold/purple). Test speed to get desired colour.

A top-rated community setting for Titanium on the LaserPecker 4 is speed 1200 mm/s, power 85%. There are 13 community-tested settings for Titanium across 6 machines on this page.

Do I need a fiber laser for Titanium?

Fiber lasers can mark Titanium directly without any coating. There are 13 fiber laser settings on this page. Diode and CO₂ lasers may require a marking compound (like Cermark) to achieve a visible result on bare metal.
