Abstract

PURPOSE:To contrive higher operating efficiency and a lower cost, by a method wherein a surface of a steel plate is irradiated with laser light only in each area stored in a memory means, thereby melting or evaporating the irradiated parts of the steel plate, resulting in marking. CONSTITUTION:Of split areas A, the area A corresponding to the marking position of predetermined characters or symbols is previously selected, and the addresses of the selected area A are stored in the memory means. A laser oscillator 8 is intermittently oscillated by an oscillation-controlling signal from an oscillation-controlling means of a laser controller 9, whereby a laser beam with a minute spot diameter is projected only on the area A with the addresses corresponding to the marking position stored in the memory means, and the surface of the steel plate 1 or a shop primer applied to the surface is melted or evaporated to a depth of about 0.1mm, resulting in that characters, symbols or the like such as '1ST', 'St-1', '12-2ST' and '18ST' indicating the member names, fitting directions or the like of members such as a stiffener, previously marked on the steel plate 1, are marked.
