What are the methods of stainless steel processing?

Etching stainless steel has the advantages of high precision, high flatness, no deformation, strong adaptability, environmental protection and safety. It is a very excellent processing method. There are many ways to process stainless steel, including but not limited to the following:

  1. Casting method: Stainless steel wire is produced by casting, and casting is performed by casting molds. Different casting methods are divided according to the melting temperature of the metal material.
  2. Rolling method: Pour the stainless steel raw material into the press, and after repeated pressing, the thickness of the metal material is gradually reduced, and finally a stainless steel sheet is obtained.
  3. Stamping method: Place the stainless steel raw material in the stamping mold and form the desired shape under pressure.
  4. Stretching method: Place the stainless steel raw material in the stretching machine, and deform the metal material through stretching to form the desired shape.
  5. Etching method: The chemical corrosion method, also called etching stainless steel, uses ferric chloride solution for strong oxidation and etching various patterns.

The advantages of etching stainless steel are mainly the following:

  1. High precision: The shape and precision of the stainless steel surface can be well controlled by the etching process, reaching a precision of ±0.008mm.
  2. High flatness: The surface of stainless steel processed by etching process is very smooth, without burrs, bumps and other defects, and has high flatness.
  3. No deformation: Etching process is to corrode stainless steel by chemical corrosion. There is no external force, and it will not destroy the physical properties of the material, so it will not deform.
  4. Strong adaptability: The etching process can be used to process stainless steel surfaces of various shapes and sizes without restriction.
  5. Environmental protection and safety: The etching process uses chemicals for chemical corrosion, which will not produce harmful gases and wastewater, and is safe and environmentally friendly. Stainless steel etching processing manufacturers have established a complete environmental protection system, and circulating wastewater treatment effectively reduces pollution to the environment.
