Brass Photo Etching Services
Microphoto specializes in photochemical etching of brass components. Brass is a copper-zinc alloy that provides excellent strength, hardness, ductility, conductivity, and corrosion resistance. Known for its low-friction and non-magnetic alloy, brass is spark resistant with features that allow for additional defense against corrosion. Hobbyist and start-up business owners often turn to brass for their projects because it softens to allow for short production times with minimal mechanical force. Other copper alloys we work with include:- C260
- C220
- C210
