Copper coated Stainless steel

[Dennis Heskett]

Has anyone engraved copper coated stainless steel? Does it engrave the same as regular stainless steel, cermark and the same settings as stainless steel?

[Dan Hintz]

It shouldn't... SS engraves because of the carbon in the steel. the copper coating prevents access to it.

My bad, I thought you were trying to engrave directly. Assuming the same thickness of SS and copper-coated SS, they should engrave the same with Cermark. The copper coating is too think to make any difference in heat dissipation.
