Questions Is this layer of polymers just being deposed onto the stainless surface, without affecting the underlying chromium/steel molecular structure?
Answer- Correct, an 80 watt CO2 laser system will not change the molecular structure of the stainless steel. The laser process using a co2 laser systems will only bond the CerMark to the stainless itself, when the correct laser settings are used to completed the bond the mark will become permanent.
