Silver Photo Etching
Silver is one of the most common precious metals around the world
We use it to create important everyday parts and components, as well as delicate and intricate jewellery designs. Silver can be found in everything from cutlery, mirrors and cufflinks through to parts for clocks, electronic equipment and appliances, circuit boards, batteries and vehicles − and much more besides; you are likely to come across photo etched silver on a daily basis.
The process of photo etching silver is just as flexible and accurate as other metal materials. However, because of how silver reacts with chemicals, we use a different chemical etchant − Ferric Nitrate − to ensure we produce the same high manufacturing standards at all times.
Other than the difference in chemistry used the etching process itself is exactly the same for silver parts as when acid etching other metals.
Alongside the highly accurate and cost-effective photo etching service, silver can also be used to plate and finish parts that have been manufactured using other materials.

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.

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.

Molybdenum Etching
Molybdenum is a diverse material used across manufacturing industries.
Molybdenum is a material popular in the manufacturing industry thanks to its many uses and benefits it holds.
Chemically etching molybdenum is ideal for use in many industry sectors including the medical, aerospace, defence, marine and telecommunications industries, due to it's ductility and high corrosion resistant properties, and has one of the highest melting points of all the pure elements, and photo etching is an easy way to manufacture sheet Molybdenum.
Chemical etching with molybdenum or with one of it's nickel based alloy derivatives such as Hastelloy, is useful because of the metal’s high melting point and low propensity for thermal expansion. This makes it perfectly suited for parts that encounter particularly high temperatures.
