Millennium Signatures is a leader in
quality electro-chemical etching equipment, accessories, and supplies. The
following pages provide a wealth of information regarding Chemical Etching
and demonstrate our superior competence in this field.
Electro-Chemical Etching does not cause distortion, sharp
indentations, or unbalance in delicate parts. This process
is widely accepted as a modern and economical way to mark on
conductive metal surfaces. Manufacturers who produce nearly
anything from fine cutlery to saw blades and Aerospace
Components prefer this method of permanently identifying
their parts.
STRESSLESS
Electro-Chemical Etching is most applicable where hardened,
thin and delicate, or already assembled parts must be marked
permanently. There is no external force required to make any
indentation or mark. Simple, fast & safe, the
Electro-Chemical Etching Process is actually the reverse of
electro-plating. A low pulsating voltage, low amperage
current is passed through the open aperture of a paper or
fabric stencil. The polarity is reversed from that used for
electro-plating. A permanent surface etch 0.0001” deep is
easily made in less than one (1) second.
DEEP ETCHING
In some industries such as Automotive or Aerospace,
specifications call for DEEP ETCHING in applications where
the marked surface of the part may experience some wear or
the mark must be deep enough into the part to allow it to be
clearly read once painted or anodized. Millennium Signatures
Marking Systems produces heavy duty Power Units that are
equipped with timers and current control features such as
our Electronic Pulse Control or EPC feature combined with a
higher output allowing marking results of potentially up to
0.0010” or 0.0012” deep depending on the material and
techniques used.
CONTRAST
On most metals you have the control to produce a clean
professional looking mark in one of three (3) possible
colours or contrasts, Black, White (Clear) or Grey.
SAFE AND EASY TO USE
The Electro-Chemical Etching Process is so easy to use that
personnel need no special skills or training to use
effectively. It is so fast that most permanent surface
markings are made in less than one (1) second. The low
currents used are harmless so it is absolutely safe.
