ODM OEM Precision Burr-free Nickel Chemical Etching Service

What is Nickel Chemical Etching

Nickel chemical etching is a manufacturing method used to create highly accurate and detailed patterns on nickel and its alloys. Owing to nickel's excellent corrosion resistance, strength, and electrical conductivity, this process is widely applied in industries such as electronics, aerospace, automotive, and medical equipment.

• Nickel is a silvery-white metal with high toughness and ductility.

• It does not dissolve in water and shows excellent resistance to both acids and alkalis, but it can be dissolved in dilute nitric acid and aqua regia.

• It has strong heat resistance, with a melting point of 1455 °C, a boiling point of 2730 °C, and a density of 8.902 g/cm³.

• When exposed to air, a compact oxide layer forms on the surface, turning black and preventing further oxidation.

• As a ferromagnetic metal with low chemical reactivity, nickel provides superior corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, durability, and good processing performance.

Benefits of Nickel Chemical Etching

• Reduced complexity and cost
  Etching makes it easier to manufacture nickel parts with intricate geometries. A fine nickel mesh is a common example where this process lowers both production challenges and expenses.

• Preservation of material properties
  The etching technique does not alter the inherent characteristics of nickel, including its hardness, strength, and formability.

• Maintaining material integrity
  Traditional stamping often causes nickel to crack, curl, or develop burrs, which can hinder assembly. Etching avoids these issues, keeping the material surface clean and intact.

• High accuracy for thin parts
  For components as thin as 0.03 mm to 1 mm, other methods may lead to distortion. Etching ensures dimensional accuracy and stability, with higher precision achieved for thinner nickel parts.
