How should graver angles be modified for harder materials
Steeper or shallower face?
Heels?

If the point is holding at 45, then no reason to change?
Good question.
I don't remember this question being asked before. My theory is when starting out to keep variables to a minimum. There seems to be a relationship between face angle and the width of cut when the cuts are executed the the same way. Lower face angle equals wider cut when all factors being the same. I guess experienced engravers use this principle to achieve what they want.
So my answer would be if the point is holding don't change. Kevin Scott
