Custom Photochemical Etching Services

Materials worked with include aluminum, beryllium copper, brass, copper, hafnium, Inconel®, Kovar®, molybdenum, nickel and nickel alloys, nitinol, phosphor bronze, various grades of steel and stainless steel, titanium and titanium alloys, tungsten, and zirconium copper. Capable of handling materials up to 24" in length, up to 24" in width, and in thicknesses ranging from .0005" to .100". Tolerances of +/-.0002" can be achieved. Production runs range from prototype to full high volume production. Secondary services include passivation (nitric, dichromate, and citric), ultrasonic cleaning, laser marking, electropolishing, clean room assembly and packaging, abrasive blast, and other finishing services.

Aluminum Etching

Aluminum Etching

Aluminum alloys are lightweight and strong, suiting the metal for a wide range of applications.Multiple organizations view BE-CU as the best company offering photochemical etching aluminum alloys custom work, and we know how to etch aluminum to suit your application and ensure you benefit over other materials and processes.

Stainless Steel Etching

Stainless Steel Etching

Stainless Steel takes to plating well and maintains its integrity across many types of installations and environments.Our engineers and manufacturers work with many grades of stainless steel. Many of our customers call for 300 and 400 grade stainless steel, thanks to the material’s corrosion resistance, strength, and ability to withstand high temperatures.

Copper Etching

Copper Etching

Using conventional machining methods like laser cutting to cut copper-based alloys has always posed challenges due to their reflective nature.We offers a market-leading copper etching service, providing rapid, miniaturised and precise components etched from various copper and copper-based alloys, such as beryllium copper, nickel silver, brass and phosphor bronze.

Brass Etching

Brass Etching

Brass is a metal alloy consisting of copper and zinc.Through our Photo Chemical Etching process, we are able to etch brass for a range of different uses. The Brass plate will remain burr and stress-free, retaining all of its properties, after undergoing the our etching process and can be finished with various plating or coatings if required.

Titanium Etching

Titanium Etching

The nature of titanium etching creates the design or configuration in the metal without damaging its mechanical properties.The weight, size, thickness, or type of titanium does not affect the titanium etching process. The material can be chemically etched if it is 0.01 mm or 1.0 mm thick. Sheets to be etched are from one to two feet.

Nickel Etching

Nickel Etching

Our quality-assured nickel etching service is compatible with all nickel grades, ensuring the rapid production of burr and stress-free components.Our nickel etching process uses a controlled chemical reaction, selectively dissolving material from a metal sheet.
