Metal filter meshes & screens
Chemical etching is a vital process in the production of metal filter screens and meshes for industries such as aerospace, automotive, and pharmaceuticals, offering precise filtration and separation capabilities. This method involves selectively etching metal substrates with specialized chemical solutions, enabling the creation of intricate patterns and precise apertures on materials like stainless steel, brass, and copper.
Chemical etching allows for customization to specific requirements, scalability for varying production volumes, and consistent quality assurance through post-processing steps like rinsing, cleaning, and inspections.
TMN Etch's advanced chemical etching service exemplifies this process, surpassing traditional perforating techniques in speed, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness, thus playing a pivotal role in meeting the demanding filtration needs of modern industrial applications.

Metal Mesh: Chemical Etching vs. Traditional Stamping
Traditional Sheet Metal Perforation: Bridging Gaps in Engineering Solutions
In the field of engineering, filters, screens, and sieves are indispensable components used for separating solids from liquids or particles of different sizes. Among the current manufacturing methods, sheet metal perforation through stamping is predominant, mainly due to its cost-effectiveness in large-scale production. However, this method has inherent limitations. It lacks flexibility, struggles with complex designs, incurs high tooling costs, faces material constraints, and often produces burrs and stresses.
Unlocking Precision with Sheet Metal Perforation Using Photochemical Etching
Enter photochemical etching, a transformative subtractive manufacturing process that selectively removes material from metal sheets through a chemical reaction. Here, the introduction of digital tools slashes costs and lead times while opening up avenues for unlimited complexities, structures, and geometries. By machining all mesh openings simultaneously, this method effortlessly accommodates design modifications, offering a streamlined pathway to precision and adaptability in engineering solutions.
