Photochemical Machining for Electronics
- ETP and OFC Coppers, Beryllium Copper, Brass and Phosphor Bronze for electrical and electronic applications
- Kovar, Nickel and Nickel/Iron alloys for semiconductor packages
- M-Series Silicon Steel for transformer and motor laminations
- Etched Direct Bond Copper on alumina or aluminum nitride for power applications
RF, Microwave and Wireless Technologies
Motor and transformer laminations:
- Custom, Prototype and Replacement
- Typically produced from silicon steel alloys, also referred to as “electrical” steel or “M series” that have a surface finish called “coreplate” which creates a dielectric layer between laminations.
- Metal etching is an ideal solution for small to mid-range (dozens to many thousands) quantities of rotor and stator lams for motors and “I”, “U” and “T” transformer laminations.
- Complex designs are easily produced from inexpensive tools (about $265.)
- The chemical etching process leaves no burrs and imparts no mechanical or thermal stress: annealing is not needed.
