Aluminium etching

Aluminum etching process

Chemically etched aluminum parts are growing in the aerospace, drone, automotive and electronics industries. Aluminum has many desirable properties that make it ideal for engine mechanical systems, electrical systems, and cladding components. The lighter weight of aluminium means better fuel efficiency and lower carbon emissions.
 
 Etching is one of the most suitable manufacturing processes for thin aluminum parts. With special equipment and processes, material properties can be maintained during the manufacturing process. Keep metal properties unchanged while maintaining precision and low tolerances. Produce cleaner edge profiles with greater precision. Provides a cost-effective and fast manufacturing alternative for stamping, laser and water jet cutting.

Etched Aluminum Components

As one of the largest and more professional chemical etching suppliers in China, ZYH provides chemically etched aluminum parts in the automotive and drone industries and other high-tech industries.
 
 The chemical etching process allows half-etching on metal surfaces and is ideal for secondary methods of forming shielded components and connectors. Another advantage of the etch process is cost-effective repeatability of parts, such as wire meshes containing many holes or irregular shapes. Compared to other processes, the cost of machining one hole is the same as that of machining a million holes, and the manufacturing speed is fast and burr-free.

Advantages of Aluminum Etching

• Low-cost complex designs - When high volume production is required, Aluminum parts with small holes, slits, slots or other complex features cost less than other manufacturing processes.

• Low-Cost Tooling - Tooling is produced quickly and at a fraction of the cost of traditional hard tooling. Prototype modifications are inexpensive.

• Burr-Free and Stress-Free—Parts are etched evenly and quickly, eliminating the need for a single point of contact.

• Metal properties remain the same - Aluminum properties remain the same as there is no heat affected zone
