Titanium is known for its impermeable properties, making it one of our most sought-after metals. When exposed to air or oxygen, titanium develops a protective layer of titanium dioxide on its surface, increasing its corrosion resistance. We etch all grades of titanium including CP Grade 1, CP Grade 2, CP Grade 3, CP Grade 4, CP Grade 5 and Grade 6A-3.

Chemical Etching with Titanium

Dragon Etching specializes in the chemical etching of titanium, delivering critical parts for industries like aerospace, medical, defense, and renewable energy.

Titanium gains its reputation as a substantial metal due to its exceptional blend of properties. It boasts a remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, making it indispensable for aerospace and defense components. Its lightness enhances fuel efficiency and maneuverability, while its strength supports higher payload capacity.

The Application of Precious Metals in Chemical Etching

Precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum are highly valued in the chemical etching industry for their exceptional electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. These unique properties make them indispensable in advanced fields including microelectronics, telecommunications, aerospace, medical technology, and scientific instrumentation. Through photochemical etching, precious metal foils and thin sheets can be processed into intricate and precise structures without mechanical stress, ensuring high accuracy and reliability.

Etched precious metal components are commonly used in microelectronic circuits, sensor elements, high-frequency connectors, medical implants, and specialized filtration or catalytic applications. Gold and silver are particularly important in electronic and optical devices, while platinum and palladium alloys are often applied in medical, chemical, and high-temperature environments. Beyond their functional roles, the visual and decorative qualities of precious metals also make them suitable for customized luxury products and artistic designs.

Compared with conventional machining, chemical etching provides greater control, flexibility, and repeatability when working with costly materials, minimizing waste and ensuring optimal material utilization. This makes photochemical etching a highly efficient solution for precision applications involving precious metals.
