2. PRESENTATION
2.1. General information
The machine has been designed and constructed for electrochemically etching stainless steel. For
information about marking other materials, such as aluminium, titanium, copper, brass, galvanised sheet
metal and bronze, contact the maker.
The etching (marking) process is based on the electrolysis of a neutral liquid, which is neither toxic nor
harmful; different kinds of alloy call for different kinds of liquids. INOX MARK can be powered by
alternating current (AC) to obtain darker and bolder marks, or by direct current (DC) for lighter marks.
