WHY PHOTO-CHEMICAL ETCHING IS BECOMING CRITICAL FOR HIGH-PRECISION INDUSTRIES
As industries continue to innovate, the demand for high-precision components grows exponentially. Medical devices require intricate surgical instruments and implants that must meet stringent safety standards.
FUTURE-PROOFING MANUFACTURING WITH PHOTO CHEMICAL ETCHING
Photo-chemical etching (PCE) is proving to be more than just a manufacturing process, and instead is seen as an enabler of innovation and a vital tool for future-proofing.
PHOTO CHEMICAL ETCHING: REVOLUTIONIZING ELECTRIC VEHICLE COMPONENT PRODUCTION FOR CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION
PCE, also known as chemical milling or photo etching, is a subtractive manufacturing process that utilizes a combination of light-sensitive photoresist, chemicals, and precision etching to produce intricate components with high accuracy and repeatability.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
