Different Metals and How They Engrave
Have you ever wondered what engraving looks like on tungsten? Maybe you have pondered what engraving looks like on ceramic, or even cobalt? Tungsten carbide and alternative metals produce different colors when laser engraved. This is due to a number of reasons, but mostly due to element composition and not differences in engraving techniques.
