Equipment Overview and Estimated Prices

Detailed Steps of Stainless Steel Electrochemical Etching

Stainless Steel Electro Cleaning Line

• Process: Utilizes high-quality water to remove contaminants from stainless steel.
• Water Quality Recommendation: Use deionized water to prevent impurities.

Stainless Steel Electro Painting and Drying Line

• Temperature Control: Precise control is crucial for uniform paint application.
• Process Flow: Stainless steel is painted, then dried at controlled temperatures to ensure adhesion.

Exposure Line

• LED Exposure: Suitable for less complex patterns; works by exposing photoresist-coated stainless steel to UV light.
• LDI (Laser Direct Imaging): Ideal for high-precision patterns; uses laser beams for direct imaging.
• Work Flow:
  • LED Exposure: Place the photoresist-coated steel under an LED light source.
  • LDI Exposure: Use laser beams to expose the steel, adjusting parameters for pattern complexity.

Developing Line

• Post-Exposure: Develops the image after exposure by removing unexposed photoresist.
• Necessity: Developing reveals the pattern created during the exposure phase.

Stainless Steel Electrochemical Etching Line

• Process: Involves immersing the developed stainless steel into a copper chloride solution.
• Parameters:
  • Temperature: Maintain between 40-50°C.
  • Etchant Concentration: Typically 15-20% copper chloride.
  • Experience Tips: Regularly monitor etchant strength and temperature for consistent results.

Stainless Steel Electro Stripping Line

• Details: Strips away residual photoresist and other unwanted materials post-etching.
• Procedure: Uses chemical baths or mechanical methods for cleaning.
