金属標識をエッチングするための一般的な問題と解決策 - 外国貿易の顧客向けの必読ガイド

2025-03-17

In the process of etching metal signs, many foreign trade customers often encounter some common problems, which not only affect product quality, but also may lead to delivery delays and cost increases. To help you better understand these issues and provide solutions, we have summarized the following common problems and ways to avoid them to ensure that your order goes smoothly.


1. The pattern is vague or unclear


Problem cause: During etching, if the mask quality is not good or the concentration of the etching solution is not appropriate, it may lead to blurred edges or loss of details.

Solution:

Choose a high quality mask material: Ensure that the mask will fit tightly to the metal surface and avoid etching fluid penetration.

Control etching fluid concentration and time: According to the metal material and thickness, adjust the etching fluid concentration and etching time to ensure that the pattern is clear.


2. Uneven corrosion on the metal surface


The cause of the problem: uneven distribution of etching fluid or inadequate metal surface pretreatment may lead to excessive or insufficient local corrosion.

Solution:

Uniform spraying of etching fluid: Professional spraying equipment is used to ensure that the etching fluid evenly covers the metal surface.

Fully clean the metal surface: Before etching, thoroughly clean the metal surface to remove oil and oxide layers to ensure uniform etching effect.


3. Size deviation


The cause of the problem: During the etching process, the metal may be slightly deformed, resulting in a final size that does not match the design drawings.

Solution:

Reserve machining allowance: In the design, consider the size change that may occur during the etching process, and reserve the processing allowance appropriately.

Using high-precision equipment: Using high-precision etching equipment and measuring tools to ensure accurate dimensions.

4. Colors don't match


The cause of the problem: After etching, the surface treatment of the metal sign (such as electroplating or spraying) may cause color inconsistency.

Solution:

Strict control of the surface treatment process: ensure the thickness and uniformity of electroplating or spraying to avoid color differences.

Use the same batch of materials: try to use the same batch of metal materials and surface treatment agents to ensure color consistency.


5. Delivery delay


The cause of the problem: Due to the above problems, the production cycle may be prolonged, which will affect the delivery time.

Solution:

Communicate and confirm design details in advance: fully communicate design details with customers before order confirmation to avoid later changes.

Reasonable arrangement of production schedule: According to the order quantity and complexity, reasonable arrangement of production schedule to ensure on-time delivery.
