As a leading manufacturer from Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd in Hengshui, Hebei, China, we specialize in precision-engineered filtration components. Our 316 Stainless Steel Perforated Chemical Photo Etching Screen for Filter Applications is crafted using advanced photochemical etching technology, delivering burr-free, ultra-precise perforations that meet the most demanding filtration requirements. With over 20 years of experience in metal mesh fabrication, we offer this product as a reliable solution for industries requiring high corrosion resistance and consistent flow performance.
This screen is manufactured from premium 316 stainless steel, known for its superior resistance to chlorides, acids, and harsh chemicals. The chemical photo etching process ensures perfectly round, square, or custom-shaped holes with tight tolerances, eliminating mechanical stress and deformation common in punching or drilling. The result is a flat, smooth screen that provides uniform filtration, easy cleaning, and long service life. Ideal for filter elements, strainers, sifting, and separation applications, this product can be customized in thickness, hole size, open area, and overall dimensions to match your specific equipment.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material: 316 Stainless Steel (UNS S31600) – excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature stability.
- Manufacturing Process: Chemical photo etching (photochemical machining) – no burrs, no heat-affected zone, precise geometry.
- Hole Shapes: Round, square, rectangular, hexagonal, slotted, or custom patterns per your drawing.
- Hole Size Range: From 0.05 mm to 10 mm, with tolerance as tight as ±0.01 mm.
- Thickness Range: 0.1 mm to 3.0 mm, available in sheets, coils, or pre-cut blanks.
- Open Area: Adjustable from 10% to 80% to optimize flow rate and particle retention.
- Surface Finish: Bright annealed, matte, or passivated surface – optional.
- Flatness: Excellent flatness due to stress-free etching process, ideal for stacking or sealing.
- Edge Quality: Smooth, burr-free edges – no secondary deburring needed.
- Customization: Dimensions, hole pattern, thickness, and packaging all customizable.

Advantages for Your Filtration Applications
- Enhanced Flow Efficiency: The precise etching process allows high open area ratios without sacrificing strength, reducing pressure drop and improving throughput.
- Clean Edges, No Clogging: Burr-free holes minimize particle entrapment, making the screen easy to clean and extend service intervals.
- Corrosion Resistance: 316 stainless steel withstands aggressive chemicals, seawater, and high-temperature environments, ensuring long-term reliability.
- Design Flexibility: Custom hole patterns and sizes enable you to optimize particle retention and flow characteristics for your specific filter media.
- Mechanical Stability: The stress-free etching process maintains the material's original properties, preventing warping or cracking under pressure.
- Compatibility: Can be integrated into filter cartridges, strainer baskets, sieve plates, and other filtration equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the difference between photo etching and laser cutting for this screen?
A: Photo etching is a chemical process that removes metal uniformly, producing burr-free edges and no heat-affected zone. Laser cutting can create heat distortion and micro-burrs, which may affect filtration performance. Photo etching is preferred for fine, precise holes and thin materials. -
Q: Can you produce screens with non-circular holes?
A: Yes, we can produce square, rectangular, slotted, hexagonal, or any custom hole shape. The photo etching process allows any 2D geometry to be transferred onto the metal. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: For standard sizes, MOQ is 100 pieces. For custom designs, we can produce as low as 10 pieces for prototype evaluation. Please contact our sales team for details. -
Q: How long does it take to produce a custom screen?
A: Typical lead time is 10–15 working days after approval of drawing and sample. Rush orders can be arranged with an additional fee. -
Q: Can you provide a sample before mass production?
A: Yes, we offer free samples within a reasonable size (e.g., 100x100 mm). Shipping cost is borne by the customer. Production samples match the final product quality. -
Q: Is this screen suitable for high-temperature filtration?
A: 316 stainless steel can withstand continuous operating temperatures up to 800°C (in oxidizing atmosphere) and up to 900°C intermittently. However, actual performance depends on the specific environment. Please advise your temperature range for confirmation. -
Q: How do you ensure the hole size accuracy?
A: We use CNC-controlled photo etching equipment with digital imaging. During production, we perform in-process inspection using a vision measuring system. Final quality control includes random sampling with a microscope and micrometer. -
Q: Can you supply the screen in roll form or cut-to-size sheets?
A: Both options are available. For thin materials (0.1–0.3 mm), we can supply in rolls. For thicker materials, we prefer cut-to-size sheets or customized blanks. Please specify your requirement.
