The laser-engraved anilox roll, introduced about 20 years ago, consists of a plasma-sprayed ceramic coating (typically chromium oxide) that is ground and honed to a very smooth finish (in the neighborhood of 5 RMS). The ceramic coating is extremely hard, with a micro-hardness of 1150 to 1300 Vickers. (For comparison, the hardness of chrome plating is around 850 to 950 Vickers.) Hardness is widely used as a guide to strength, wear and erosion resistance of a coating. Due to its extreme hardness, it is not possible to engrave these coatings using a knurling tool. The only way to produce cells in this material is to engrave it with a laser. 2, record 1, English, - laser%20engraved%20anilox%20roll
