Abstract: A marking head for use in the electrochemical process wherein a conductive metal part is imaged by firing electrodes against the part in the presence of an electrolyte. The marking face of the head contains an imaging board that includes seven segment digit modules that are capable of being fired in a pre-programmed order whereupon the characters recorded upon the part can be sequenced in a desired order. The segments are printed upon a copper coated board using a photoetching technique which leaves behind a copper coating in the segmented areas. Each segment is then coated with a carbon based material to provide a series of electrodes that can be efficiently operated in the presence of an electrolyte without breaking down.
