How to choose the processing method for micro hole processing

Micro-hole processing is a processing method often encountered in the processing of mechanical parts. It is mainly for the processing of mesh holes. Traditional micro-hole meshes use stamping and laser processing methods.


However, both stamping and laser processing have certain defects based on the thickness below 0.05mm. Therefore, etching processing has become the primary processing method. High-precision laser processing may be able to achieve a higher degree of precision aperture, but the thickness of the processed effect cannot be too thin. The product has a burning feeling on the surface of the material due to the laser beam and burrs on the edge.

The thickness of micro-hole etching processing can reach 0.01mm, the aperture can be 0.02mm, the surface is smooth and burr-free. Micro-hole etching processing uses chemical etching, which uses high-concentration ferric chloride reaction to corrode the stainless steel material to form the corresponding pattern. Features of micro-hole etching processing:

  1. Low mold opening fee, short template production cycle, metal film production style, can modify the design plan at will, low cost.
  2. Micro-hole etching products have no burrs, pressure points, and the product does not deform.
  3. Extremely high precision. The thinner the material, the higher the precision.
  4. Able to achieve half of the metal etching process and realize branding processing.
  5. Almost all metals can be etched, and there is no limit to the design of various patterns for micro-hole etching.
