Stainless Steel Marking
Stainless steel can be marked with a laser for a wide variety of purposes. Commonly stainless steel items are used for promotional goods, such as pens as well as in the trophy and awards market. Stainless steel and tool steel are often used in industrial settings for tools, tool bits and as rugged long lasting machine data plates.
If you are marking stainless steel and other uncoated materials, the surface must first be treated with a very safe chemical that promotes an extremely dark contrast. Your local Rayet sales person will be happy to provide information regarding this process.
