Stainless Steel Etching

Stainless steel is one of the most common materials used due to its corrosion resistance, low cost, and high versatility. Microphoto uses stainless steel photochemical etching to keep these properties intact while manufacturing components for the industrial, aerospace, electronic, and automotive industries. We offer unmatched reliability and tight tolerances for all photo-etched stainless steel parts. 

Photo-etched stainless steel parts can contain various elements depending on the application at hand, including nickel, carbon, chromium, and more. Microphoto produces photochemical etched stainless steel parts without compromising the mechanical or elemental integrity of the material.

Grades of Stainless Steel

While Microphoto can etch nearly any type of metal, below are more commonly requested grades of stainless steel that we can photochemically etch for your manufacturing needs.

  • 301
  • 302/304/304L
  • 316/316L
  • 321
  • 410
  • 420
