Here at Fotofab, we provide photochemical machining (chemical etching, acid etching) services for a wide range of metals, including:

Metal Name DescriptionAvailable Alloys
AluminumAluminum is a lightweight, highly conductive, reflective, and non-toxic metal. Its durability and corrosion-resistant properties make Aluminum chemical etching ideal for components in a variety of industries.1100, 2024, 3003, 5052, 6061
Beryllium CopperBeryllium Copper (BeCu) is a pliable metal alloy with high electrical conductivity. Beryllium Copper chemical etching is ideal for applications in electrical and electronic industries, such as contact and spring contact applications.
BrassBrass is a binary alloy composed of Copper and Zinc. It is similar to Bronze and valued for its workability, hardness, corrosion resistance, and attractive appearance.
CopperCopper chemical etching is an excellent process for applications in the electrical and electronic industries. This soft metal possesses high thermal and electrical conductivity and is one of the easier metals to photo-chemically machine or etch.C11000, C10100, C26000, C51000, C52100, C71500, C77000
