Line marking on metal sheets is a fundamental aspect of sheet metal handling and trading operations, offering a reliable means of labeling and identification. From ensuring traceability to facilitating regulatory compliance, line marking plays a crucial role in maintaining quality standards and ensuring product integrity.    Several techniques are commonly employed for line marking on metal sheets, a few of which are: 1) Inkjet Printing Inkjet printing utilizes specialized inks to print directly onto metal sheets. This non-contact method allows for high-speed printing of alphanumeric characters, barcodes, and QR codes. Inkjet printing offers versatility and cost-effectiveness, particularly for variable data applications. 2) Laser Engraving Utilizing high-intensity laser beams, laser engraving creates precise and permanent markings on metal surfaces. This technique offers excellent durability and resolution, making it ideal for intricate designs, serial numbers, and logos. 3) Embossing Embossing involves creating raised or recessed patterns on metal surfaces through mechanical pressure. While not as common as laser engraving or inkjet printing, embossing is suitable for applications where tactile identification is required, such as product branding or decorative elements. #DidYouKnow #StainlessSteel #QualityControl #Traceability #MetalMarking #LineMarking #ProductIdentification #MetalSheets #MetalCoils

The latest on The Steel Insider Canada announces tariff remission process for Canadian businesses importing certain Chinese goods Canadian workers, the auto sector, the steel and aluminum industries, and related critical manufacturing supply chains are threatened by unfair competition from Chinese producers, who benefit from China’s intentional, state-directed policy of overcapacity and oversupply, as well as its lack of rigorous labour and environmental standards. The federal government has recently implemented a suite of tariffs (also known as surtaxes) on certain Chinese imports to level the playing field and protect Canada’s workers and businesses from China’s unfair trade policies. These include: - A 100 per cent surtax on all Chinese-made EVs, effective October 1, 2024; - A 25 per cent surtax on imports of steel and aluminum products from China, effective October 22, 2024; and, - Potential surtaxes on critical manufacturing sector products, particularly batteries and battery parts, semiconductors, solar panels, and critical minerals, which the government consulted on from September 10, 2024, to October 10, 2024.
