Edelmetallring reinigen mit Laserlicht

Cleaning precious metal with laser light

If you want to re-silver or gild items, laser cleaning is on the right track. Especially for chisseled objects with lines and relief plastic shapes, cleaning by laser light is recommended, as the light penetrates into all shapes here. A chain mail, for example, can be cleaned just as finely as a grid, ornaments, Fittings with figure representation or high-quality silver and gold jewellery. The highlight: after laser cleaning, the objects are directly prepared for resealing without long waiting times. We will be happy to show you the power of laser cleaning at an appointment in our on-site service workshop in Ahrensburg.

Cleaning tarnished or misted precious metal

Especially precious metals in molds are difficult to clean. If you want to go to work here chemical-free, you need patience or an EraserLaser Backpack or Cart. This allows you to get dirt down even from chiseled objects. And direct resealing is also possible. We are happy to support you in cleaning precious metals.

Stainless steel reacts more strongly to invasive laser pulses and shows marks earlier. If this is desired – for example, to activate the material or for deep cleaning – a high energy density can be used. If not, a gentler approach is needed, often with a Top Hat laser. Aluminium is generally less scratch-sensitive than tool steel. Here, the Gaussian pulse laser can be used invasively with high energy density, or non-invasively with low energy density. Both methods are highly effective for their intended purpose.

The effect on the base material depends on the laser type used – whether it’s a pulse laser, Top Hat or CW laser. Some types of laser can affect the surface. In this case, however, no material is noticeably removed; rather, the surface’s structure is affected. Other lasers, with the right system settings, can leave the surface entirely unaffected even after repeated cleaning. Both options are possible with laser cleaning.
