Precision Etching Brass Alloy – Brass Etching

Brass is an exceptional copper alloy that is being used for multiple etching applications and has been used for a long time. It has become a significant part of component manufacturing industries, owing to the distinct advantages that it offers. Today, brass is precision etched for creating parts like EMI RFI or EMC screening cans through to various musical instruments components. These brass made components are used in applications like music instrument manufacturing, mechanical, automobile, electrical, etc. Brass etching offers multiple benefits over other metal manufacturing processes, which is why it is in demand.

An alloy of copper and zinc, brass offers cost-efficiency, durability, and resistance to corrosion and heat. Other advantages include:

• Antimicrobial. With its natural antimicrobial properties, brass is widely popular for medical applications.
• Low coefficient of friction. Brass’s low coefficient of friction makes it the ideal material for applications such as electronic, art, and locks.
• Non-sparking. Brass is non-sparking, making it suitable for components used in potentially flammable or explosive environments.

How To Etch Brass

Metal Grades For Brass Etching

Brass etching is a process of using chemicals to selectively remove material from a brass surface to create designs, patterns, or text. The choice of metal grade for brass etching can impact the quality and results of the etching process. Brass is an alloy primarily composed of copper and zinc, and the specific grade of brass can vary based on the proportions of these metals and any additional alloying elements. The most common brass grades for etching are as follows:

Components That Are Produced By Etching Brass

The popularity of Brass makes it a desirable metal for use in fabrication because it is easy to manufacture and has favorable properties for many industrial products.With the photo etching process, the metal is etched evenly without any structural deformations from the hard tooling used in stamping and punching.Since there isn’t a heat point of contact like laser cutting, the parts’ metal properties remain unchanged and free from thermal deformations.Get inspired by our custom etching part projects and contact us to Get Instant Quote for rapid prototype or Brass etching parts start from 1pcs.
