Etching Stainless Steel – Stainless Steel Etching

Precision Etching is one of the most versatile manufacturing processes available today. This process is compatible with various materials.Stainless Steel is among the most popular material choices for metal etching applications. Precision Etching stainless steel alloys provide manufacturers huge flexibility for product manufacturing.

However, narrowing down your options when it comes to stainless steel etching can be daunting.

Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, making it suitable for situations where a part may be exposed to the elements for a long period of time.

Stainless steel is also fairly malleable and ductile. Be-Cu etch offers multiple stainless steel alloys precision etching service, including a food-safe variety.

How To Etch Stainless Steel

Metal Grades For Stainless Steel Etching

Stainless steel etching involves selectively removing material from a stainless steel surface using an etchant, typically an acid, to create designs, patterns, or markings. The choice of material grade and its properties can have a significant impact on the etching process. Different grades of stainless steel have varying corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and etchability.Here are some common stainless steel grades and their properties:

When etching stainless steel, you will need to choose an appropriate etchant and process parameters, such as etchant type, concentration, temperature, and etching time, based on the specific grade of stainless steel you are working with. The choice of resist materials (used to protect the areas you don’t want to etch) and the etching method (e.g., chemical or electrochemical etching) will also play a crucial role in achieving the desired results.

Components That Are Produced By Etching Stainless Steel

The popularity of stainless steel 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 stainless steel 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.
