Part Marking Services
Applied Products Company employs a variety of methods to do
custom marking and identification of customer supplied
parts. In addition to the Lectroetch Process® for
electrochemical etching (described below), we also have
facilities for:
- screen printing
- pad printing
- metal stamping
- laser and pantograph
engraving
- chemical (acid) etching.
The Lectroetch Process®
Lectroetch® originated electrochemical marking in 1943.
The process is an etching process in which a minute amount
of metal, about .0001 to .006 inches, is removed from
conductive metals. The process eliminates the impermanence
of labeling or ink marking, and will not weaken, deform or
otherwise contribute to part failure The Lectroetch®
process has proven itself in countless metal part marking
applications for identification as well as:
- reproducing trademarks
- parts and serial numbers
- measurement markings
- inspection stamps
- date codes.
- inventory control
Objects made of conductive ferrous and
nonferrous metals and alloys are easily marked. Metals
plated with chrome, nickel, cadmium and zinc also mark well
due to conductivity. Painted, anodized or phosphated parts
can also be processed by deep etching (.001 to .006 in.)
prior to coating application.
All orders are handled
expeditiously and with great attention to
quality
