Stainless Steel Etched Sheet
Etching stainless steel is done for a variety of reasons including the
creation of prints, decorations and personalization. The etching process is
the result of a chemical reaction that removes a layer of steel in the exposed
area of a chemically coated steel plate.
Etchers commonly use one or more different types of acid when creating their
works. It depends on personal preference and desired outcome.
Etching steel takes longer than etching other kinds of metals. Acids diluted
with water or vinegar typically perform better on stainless steel than
concentrated acids.
The chosen etching design or pattern is as important as the steel. The novice
etcher should choose a high-contrast, black-and-white design that makes the
transferring process as simple as possible. Once the etcher chooses the
design, the etcher prepares the steel to get it ready to acceptthe design.
Completing the Process
Place the stainless steel facedown in the acid to permanently etch the design
into the steel. Take care to ensure the steel does not touch the bottom of the
container. The chemical bath is more effective with regular water agitation,
usually done every few minutes. The steel should remain in the solution until
the carved lines are the desired depth. Remove the steel from the acid, and
rinse it with water to remove any remaining acid. Remove the resist by using
acetone, alcohol, turpentine, or steel wool.
