Precision Etching For Copper – Copper Etching

Copper is one of the very few elements that is found in a ready to use metallic form. It is a soft, lightweight metal with high electrical and thermal conductivity properties that is easy to etching into complex shapes and intricate designs.

Chemical etching of copper is a process that uses chemicals to selectively remove material from a copper surface in a controlled manner.

It’s often used in various applications, including printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing, decorative art, and microfabrication. You start with a clean and smooth copper substrate. This can be in the form of a copper sheet, a copper-clad PCB, or a copper plate.

BE-CU ETCH offers precision etching with multiple copper alloys.

How To Etch Copper

Metal Grades For Copper Etching

Copper etching is a process in which designs or patterns are chemically etched onto a copper surface. The choice of metal grade for copper etching depends on various factors, including the desired results, the specific etching technique, and the type of copper being used. Here are some common metal grades used for copper etching:

Components That Are Produced By Etching Copper

The popularity of copper 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 copper etching parts start from 1pcs.

The Surface Treatment Of Metal Etching Parts

Do you want your etching parts to be more corrosion-resistant or get a specific look? Metal finishing service is a essential choice to achieve your design perfectly. BE-CU – metal-etch.com is an accomplished finished parts manufacturer, our workers and craftsman are capable to provide precision metal etching services and a wide range of finishing services including aluminum anodizing, painting, passivation, electroplating, powder coating, polishing, black oxide, conversion coating, abrasive blasting, etc. We offers several common surface finishes to help improve functionality and aesthetics.

After browsing a list of metal finishing services, select a process based on essential considerations, like production time, cost-effectiveness, part tolerance, durability and applications. High-tolerance metal etching parts are not recommended to apply secondary metal surface finish, because the treatment may change the sizes of the finished part through removing or adding a small amount of materials.
