Industrial Chemical Etching
Tecomet Inc. provides industrial chemical etching, also called photochemical machining, for parts across the aerospace, defense, telecommunications, electronics, energy, and medical industries. The process uses a precise, non-contact chemical method to remove metal from thin foils, producing burr-free parts without the heat-affected zones or mechanical stress that stamping or CNC machining can introduce.
Tecomet Inc. can etch metals at thicknesses from 0.0001" to 0.070", and dimensional accuracy improves as material gets thinner. The type of metal is also a factor: aluminum etches at a significantly faster rate than stainless steel, and titanium requires a different etching chemistry than stainless steel or copper. As a general tolerance guideline, the smallest hole or slot achievable is 110% of material thickness, so a 0.010" thick part can hold a slot as narrow as 0.011" wide.
Tecomet Inc. is ISO certified and ITAR registered and compliant, with a standard lead time of 2 weeks and expedited delivery available in as little as 2 to 3 days.
