Chemical Etching with Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel is a popular metal choice by engineers working in the aerospace, automotive, medical, and transportation industries because of the number of grades and compositions available. Stainless Steel takes to plating well and maintains its integrity across many types of installations and environments.

E-Fab’s engineers and manufacturers work with many grades of stainless steel. Many of our customers call for 300 and 400 grade stainless steel, thanks to the material’s corrosion resistance, strength, and ability to withstand high temperatures.

We welcome your questions about how to use stainless steel for your parts.

Types of Stainless Steel We Use

Stainless steel is available in a multitude of compositions and grades. Take advantage of our expert engineering team to help pick the right one for your project.
