We are specialists in etching copper
Etching copper and copper alloys
Excellent electrical and thermal conductivity combined with lower procurement costs (compared to silver, for example) make copper the metal of choice for many applications in microelectronics and the printed circuit board industry.
- CuSn6 (C51900)
- Cu-PHC (K14, C10300)
- CuFe2P (K65, C19400)
We also etch other copper alloys such as copper-beryllium, brass, bronze, and nickel silver with the highest precision. Components made from these alloys are primarily used for their mechanical and electrical properties.
- Filters, sieves, meshes, grids, springs, joints, and membranes
- Automotive interior components
- EMI/RFI shielding
- Micro-needles, blades, lancets, surgical instruments
- Fuel cell plates, bipolar plates
Composite/
Clad Material
Composite materials offer the advantage of combining the benefits of various materials in a customized way. A wide range of combinations is possible, including multiple layers and materials—for example, SigmaClad (Ni/stainless steel/Cu/stainless steel/Ni) in various thicknesses and layer strengths. Composites made of stainless steel and copper combine the conductivity of copper with the strength of steel.
- Increased strength compared to copper
- Lower specific weight than copper
- Ferromagnetic properties
- Improved electrical conductivity
- Improved thermal conductivity
- Improved solderability
- Improved corrosion protection
- Decorative appearance
Our standards are industry-leading
We operate in the world of tightest tolerances, hundredths of a millimeter, finest structures, thinnest metals, and most complex geometries. We etch custom metal components in industrial large series while adhering to the tightest tolerances.
We strive for the highest customer satisfaction through excellent quality. To ensure this, our processes are continuously monitored and further developed through strict quality controls.
