What is etched stainless steel?

Etched stainless steel is a stainless steel plate that has been chemically etched. Etched stainless steel usually uses chemical solutions or etching paste to corrode the surface of stainless steel to form patterns, text or textures on the surface. Etched stainless steel can achieve different effects through mask etching, direct etching and other methods.

Metal etched stainless steel specifications?

The specifications of metal etched stainless steel plates usually include plate thickness, size and surface treatment. The plate thickness is generally between 0.3mm and 3.0mm, and the size can be customized according to customer needs. Common specifications include 1220mm*2440mm, 1500mm*3000mm, etc. Surface treatment includes mirror, frosted, sandblasting, etc. Different surface treatment methods can meet different decoration needs of customers.

How is etched stainless steel made?

1. Design drawings

First, according to the customer's requirements or the designer's design draft, the pattern or text to be etched on the stainless steel plate needs to be produced and converted into a digital CAD drawing.

2. Prepare materials

Select a stainless steel plate of suitable size and thickness, and clean and polish its surface to ensure the quality of the etching effect.

3. Etching treatment

According to the designed CAD drawings, use chemical etching liquid or laser equipment to etch the stainless steel plate. Chemical etching liquid can achieve local etching by applying etching glue or covering film to specific areas, while laser etching can directly process stainless steel plates through laser beams.

4. Cleaning and treatment

After etching, the stainless steel plate needs to be cleaned and treated to remove the etching liquid or residue, and the surface needs to be rust-proofed or sprayed to enhance the durability and aesthetics of the stainless steel plate.

5. Inspection and packaging

Finally, the etched stainless steel plate is inspected for quality to ensure clear patterns and smooth lines, and packaging and protection measures are taken for transportation and installation.

Applications of etched stainless steel?

1. Signboard production

Etched stainless steel plates can be used to make various signboards, such as corporate logos, signboards, warning signs, etc. The etching process can permanently engrave text, logos and patterns on stainless steel plates, which are corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant and suitable for outdoor use.

2. Decoration

Etched stainless steel plates are also commonly used for indoor and outdoor decoration, such as wall decoration, stair handrails, door numbers, etc. Stainless steel has excellent weather resistance and corrosion resistance. The etching process can give the stainless steel surface a variety of unique textures and patterns to increase the decorative effect.

3. Craft products

Etched stainless steel plates are also commonly used to make crafts and gifts, such as medals, commemorative medals, craft ornaments, etc. The etching process can be used to make exquisite patterns and texts on stainless steel plates, giving the products unique artistic value.

4. Mechanical equipment accessories

In some special mechanical equipment, corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant parts are required, and etched stainless steel plates can meet this demand. The etching process can produce precise parts on stainless steel plates with high durability and stability.

What are the advantages of etched stainless steel?

1. Strong corrosion resistance

After special treatment, etched stainless steel can improve its corrosion resistance, so that it can still maintain a good surface state in a humid, acidic and alkaline environment, not easy to rust and corrode, and has a long service life.

2. Beautiful surface

After processing, the surface of etched stainless steel can present various exquisite patterns, texts, images, etc., which are decorative and artistic, and are suitable for indoor and outdoor decoration, signs and signs and other fields.

3. Strong wear resistance

The surface of etched stainless steel has high hardness and strong wear resistance. It is not easy to be scratched or worn, and can maintain a long-term beautiful state.

4. Easy to clean

The surface of etched stainless steel is flat and smooth, not easy to be stained with dirt, easy to clean, and can be kept clean and hygienic.

5. Environmentally friendly and healthy

No harmful chemicals are required in the process of etching stainless steel, which is pollution-free and meets environmental protection requirements; at the same time, it will not release harmful substances and is harmless to human health.
