Brass Photo Etching
At Qualitetch, we etch brass for a range of uses from signage to Jewellery and screening cans.
Brass is a metal alloy consisting of copper and zinc, with differing variations of the metal made by changing the proportion of the two elements.
Due to its gold or bronzed appearance, Brass is a popular metal to use in aesthetic or creative art projects, but also used for many modern practical engineering applications such as, EMI RFI or EMC screening cans through to various musical instruments components.
Through our Photo Chemical Etching process, we are able to etch brass for a range of different uses. The metal will remain burr and stress-free, retaining all of its properties, after undergoing the our etching process and can be finished with various plating or coatings if required.

Copper Photo Etching
Copper photo etching is often used to offer high electrical and thermal conductivity to metal components.
Through our Photo Chemical Etching process, the smallest and most complex designs are made possible such as electrical spring contacts, contact membranes, busbars, antennae and micro antennae, spring fingered contacts, heating elements and battery terminal as well as many other bespoke components to your own designs. The Copper retains all of its properties, as well as remaining burr and stress-free following our etching processes. At Qualitetch, we can offer your bespoke designs in a wide range of copper and Beryllium copper non-ferrous metal specifications and hardnesses as required.
Due to the high conductivity of Copper, the metal is often used for electrical, automotive and transmission components. One of its primary uses is for wiring and harnesses, especially within the automotive industry where many electrical components are manufactured from copper using the photo etching process.
The metal is cleaned once your design has been finalised, and the metal sheet covered with UV sensitive photo-resist before printing your design. The metal is then taken through a chemical bath with ferric chloride, which acid etches the design from the metal sheet to produce your finished precision components.
Any trace of UV photo-resist remaining is stripped and removed once the etching process has been completed − and your chemically etched metal parts are taken to our QA technicians for final dimensional approval.

Mild Steel & Carbon Spring Steel Photo Etching
Steel is one of the most popular metal materials to use in manufacturing.
Thanks to the many useful properties it possesses. Here at Qualitetch, we utilise a number of steel variants, including both mild steel and carbon steel, to harness the durability and resilience of the metal.
Etched steel parts and components are great for a multitude of industries and sectors, including automotive, aerospace, electronics and telecommunications, and can be found in everyday items and objects in the home, on the road and in the workplace.
Mild steel is also known as carbon steel, spring steel and includes brand names such as Sandvik steel and Uddeholm.
