Complete Stainless Steel Photo Etching Services

Stainless steel is a popular steel alloy made with a minimum of 10.5% chromium content. It is widely known for its high corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and unique appearance. Stainless steel is relatively inexpensive and widely available in a variety of grades. Its bio-compatibility makes it useful in medical applications, including implantable devices.  Photo chemical machining stainless steel is a fast and efficient way to produce thin, “two dimensional” parts. Vaga Industries are experts at photo etching stainless steel.

Precision Stainless Steel Photo Etching

Vaga Industries uses chemical etching to produce a broad range of stainless steel products, from decorative elevator panels to aerospace components and everything in-between. We work with stainless steel in numerous grades — including 301, 302, 304, 316, 316L, and 430 — and can help you determine which grade is best-suited to your unique application.

Photo chemical machining stainless steel is a cost effective and easily repeatable process for manufacturing even the most complex parts. Parts are burr-free, with no heat affected zones and no negative effects on surface finish. We can use half or partial etching techniques to produce intricate details such as lettering or logos that vary in thickness but do not penetrate the material completely.

We have a large, readily available inventory of stainless steel in various grades, and can provide the materials your application requires. We can also work with customer supplied materials in stainless steel photo etching projects.
