The photo chemical etching process--also known as photo etching, chemical etching, and photo chemical machining-- enables the easy production of delicate or complex part geometries reliably and consistently. The photo etching process is well suited to very thin metals, down to .0005" thick. It is also capable of handling ferrous alloys to .040", copper alloys to .065" and aluminum to .080". A wide variety of alloys can be photo etched including nickel, molybdenum, silver, and Kovar, as well as stainless, carbon and silicon steels and most copper alloys.
