Etching Stainless Steel Sheet

Etching Finish

Etched stainless steel sheets undergo a meticulous process to achieve their unique and artistic designs. Our workshop experts guide the sheets through stages of surface purification, acid resistance, ink printing, etching, ink removal, and drying. This intricate process results in stunning and complex patterns that enhance the aesthetic appeal of any space. Etched stainless steel combines beautifully with other surface treatment technologies, offering versatility in design.

The etching technique engraves detailed textures on the metal surface through chemical reactions or physical collisions, creating a high aesthetic value and intricate patterns. These sheets add a luxurious and mysterious ambiance to any environment, making them ideal for interior and exterior panels, ornaments, cladding, frames, and fittings.

Etching Pattern Finish Options

Etched stainless steel sheets come in a variety of finishes and colors, tailored to suit diverse applications. One category features intricate patterns and designs that can be widely used across various industries. These decorative etched patterns add an elegant touch to spaces, making them suitable for cladding, frames, fittings, and ornamental purposes.

The other category is specifically designed for elevator applications. These patterns are customized to fit exact dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of elevator interiors. These elevator-specific designs offer a unique combination of durability and style, ideal for high-traffic areas.

Specification

Our etched stainless steel sheets are available in a thickness range from 0.50mm to 3.00mm. Enhanced through our diverse design patterns or tailored to customer-specific requests, these sheets undergo a meticulous etching process. Acid is used to etch the surface, removing a thin layer of metal around protected areas. This results in rough, distinct etched portions that stand out from the rest of the sheet. This precise technique allows for the creation of intricate and detailed designs on the stainless steel, perfect for both decorative and functional applications.

Important Considerations for Etching Stainless Steel Sheet

Surface Treatment

Etched stainless steel sheets are enhanced through various design patterns or specific customer requests. The etching process involves using acid to remove a thin layer of metal, creating intricate and detailed designs.

Material Selection

The quality and appearance of the etched designs are closely linked to the raw material. We exclusively use high-quality stainless steel from renowned suppliers like POSCO and TISCO to ensure the best results.

Maintenance

While etched sheets offer a luxurious and aesthetic finish, proper care is required to maintain their appearance. Regular cleaning with mild detergents and a soft cloth is recommended to preserve the design’s clarity and detail.

Durability

The etched portions of the stainless steel sheets are rough and distinct from the rest of the surface, making them more susceptible to wear. It is advisable to use these sheets in low-contact areas or ensure they are adequately protected in high-traffic environments.

Applications of Etching Stainless Steel Sheet

Etched stainless steel sheets, known for their intricate designs and high aesthetic appeal, are widely used across various industries. This advanced technique transforms ordinary metal surfaces into works of art, making them ideal for architectural applications, interior and exterior decor, and functional elements in elevators.

The combination of visual appeal and durability makes etched stainless steel a preferred choice for decorative panels, appliance finishes, and custom design projects, enhancing the visual impact and functionality of any space.
