fields of application of green etCHing® milling:
Green etCHing® is an innovative metalworking used to make components lighter and thinner: it is particularly adequate for lightening mechanical aluminum parts
The definition of the bath concentration, its temperature and immersion time allow to adapt the process to different types of application
uniform and light is better
fields of application
Thinning components and making sheets lighter and is used in various sectors, including the automotive and transport in general.
- Lightening
Thanks to the removal of material, uniform over the entire surface or localized on the unmasked areas, significant weight reductions can be achieved by overcoming the technological limits with which the component was made - Surface processing of sheets and extrusions
With a localized material removal it is possible to obtain thinner areas by simultaneously acting on large portions of the surface - Surface cleaning
Elimination of alumina and any residues from previous processing (eg. foundry sand) - Additive Manufacturing
Removal of supports and elimination of unsintered powders (even in areas that cannot be reached mechanically). Reduction of design constraints for the supports positioning. Improvement of the surface roughness characteristics on components made by addivite manufacturing
testing to find the best solution
green etCHing® test executed
We are available to carry out tests and experiments of green etCHing® on components and applications of interest in order to identify the most adequate solution for specific needs.
Chemical milling solutions are also available for other innovative metals and materials.
