    INSTALLATION Introduction When a component is laser marked an amount of the surface of the substance is thermally decomposed, “burnt off”. This thermal decomposition comprises a mixture of particulate and gaseous compounds. The heat energy causes the gases and surrounding air to quickly expand moving away from the surface at high velocity entraining any particulate with the gases.
