Precision Stainless Steel Filter Mesh Custom Chemical Etched Micro Hole Mesh

Filter Meshes Overview

A filter mesh is a precision metal component designed to separate particles, regulate flow and protect sensitive equipment. Depending on the application, filter meshes can be manufactured with micron-level openings to achieve stable filtration performance while maintaining high flow efficiency.

What is Etching?
Metal etching is a precise, subtractive manufacturing process that uses controlled chemistry to selectively remove material from metal sheets. It produces clean, burr-free parts with complex geometries without heat or mechanical stress, ideal for delicate and high-tolerance parts.

Filter Mesh Features

• Precise & Consistent Apertures: Every opening is identical in size and shape, ensuring predictable and reliable filtration performance.

• Burr-Free & Smooth Surfaces: No loose wires or debris; smooth edges prevent particle trapping and facilitate easy cleaning.

• High Open Area & Strength: Optimized designs provide maximum flow with minimal pressure drop while maintaining structural rigidity.

• Design Flexibility: Any aperture shape (round, square, slot, custom) and pattern layout are easily achievable.

• Material Versatility: Manufactured from stainless steel, copper, titanium, nickel alloys, etc., to suit various chemical and temperature environments.

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between etched mesh and woven wire mesh?
A: Woven mesh is made by interlacing wires, which can shift under pressure. Etched mesh is created from a solid metal sheet, offering absolute hole position stability, higher flatness, and no risk of wire unraveling. It is ideal for applications requiring rigid, high-precision filtration.

Q2: What is the smallest hole size you can achieve?
A: We can manufacture holes as small as 0.03mm (30 microns) in diameter, depending on the material thickness.

Q3: Can you produce custom shapes (not just round holes)?
A: Yes. We can produce any 2D pattern, including square holes, hexagonal holes, slots, and complex custom logos or designs, without the need for expensive hard tooling.

Q4: Does the etching process leave sharp edges?
A: No. Unlike stamping or machining, our chemical etching process produces a smooth surface with minimal burrs. We can further optimize the process to ensure safe handling and precise flow rates.

Q5: What is your MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)?
A: We offer low MOQs. We are happy to support small-scale prototyping as well as mass production orders.

Q6: How do you ensure the uniformity of the holes?
A: We utilize high-precision phototools and controlled etching parameters to achieve a uniformity tolerance of ±0.01mm across the entire sheet.
