METHOD OF PRODUCING THE AHI BANNER ON GLASS BY ENGRAVING AND PAINTING.

Abstract

METHOD OF PRODUCING THE AHI BANNER ON GLASS BY ENGRAVING AND PAINTING. The current invention relates to laser engraving, going beyond the production techniques of traditional designs. This production technique involves applying foil to the surface of smoked glass at room temperature, followed by a resting period of at least three days to prepare it for processing. It then involves engraving the glass surface using at least one laser engraving tool. Following engraving, the relevant areas are isolated and painted with acrylic spray paint in a suitable color. Finally, the remaining foil on the painted glass surface is removed by heating it. The back of the artwork is painted with wood in two different colors to create a background effect. Different materials can be used to fit within the frame. The design is then framed and ready for use.

In the first step of the method described in the invention, (a) application of a water-based intermediate layer chemical to the glass (3) product surface, (b) air trapping through the interlayer of the masking foil (4) 20 (3) by mechanically stripping the glass with a squeegee / scraper to reduce the glass. coating the surface, (c) the foil-coated surface for a period of time that will allow the liquid in the interlayer to drain away resting in ambient conditions, (d) the model, through the masking foil (4) with at least one laser (1) engraving device, glass 25 (3) engraving on the surface, (e) at least one of the etching areas created on the glass (3) surface after laser (1) etching coloring / painting with paint, 3 (f) waiting for a predetermined period for the paint to cure / mature, 5 (g) removal of the masking foil (4) from the surface by applying heat, (h) includes the steps for cleaning the surface with cleaning fluids. The interlayer chemical is a solution / suspension containing at least one surfactant and water. It contains an interlayer chemical detergent-based solution and a shampoo-based solution. and / or a solution with a water-based foil adhesive character can be selected. Intermediate layer 10 The chemical is applied thinly and homogeneously to the glass (3) surface. Masking foil (4) with a squeegee / scraper to reduce air trapping during coating It is coated by applying mechanical stripping. After the mask foil (4) coating, the glass (3) product, the liquid in the intermediate layer is removed. It is rested for at least 72 hours in ambient conditions that will allow it to rest. This period is the laser (1) 15 Evaporation-induced bubbles under masking foil (4) during scraping It reduces the risk of the formation and curling of the masking foil (4) in sensitive areas. The rested foil-covered glass surface is fed into the laser (1) engraving device and the design (2), x and is processed with a laser beam moving along the y-axis. Engraving, area scanning (e.g. It can be performed in "engrave" or linear scanning mode. Laser (1) parameters; 20 The laser is adjusted according to the glass type, foil thickness and desired engraving depth. (1) The scanning speed for engraving is selected from a range of 200–600 cm / min. Laser (1) engraving process with a scanning speed in the range of 200–600 cm / min Thanks to its implementation, the laser energy can be applied to the glass (3) surface and masking foil (4) This ensures controlled and homogeneous distribution. This speed range is low 25 local heat accumulation occurring at speeds and consequently masking foil (4) while reducing bubble formation caused by evaporation occurring underneath, high Insufficient energy transfer at low speeds leads to poor engraving depth and pattern integrity. It also prevents losses. Thus, the mask foil (4) deformation during the scraping process. by minimizing line continuity and surface 30 (2) especially in fine detail designs Its quality is improved. The power setting of the laser (1) can be selected within the nominal range of the device. The work being done Depending on its sensitivity, it is operated in the 20W to 22W range. Also used in laser engraving. 4 Resolution / sensitivity value is 5 depending on the detail accuracy of the design (2) to be processed. It is selected from a range of 0.05–0.20 mm. Laser engraving has a resolution / accuracy value in the range of 0.05–0.20 mm. This is achieved by increasing the step of the laser beam's traverse across the surface. By optimizing, both geometric accuracy and surface integrity are preserved. This range, Detail loss and edge warping that occurs at lower resolution values. while reducing irregularities, local anomalies that can occur at extremely high resolution values It also limits microcrack formation and surface damage due to energy concentration. Thus, contour sharpness is increased, especially in fine-lined motifs, resulting in a homogeneous and... A repeatable milling quality is achieved. Using the specified scanning speed and resolution / sensitivity ranges together 15 Thanks to this, energy density and thermal effect are balanced during the laser engraving process.
