Process to remove material from a solid surface, usual caused by chemical reactions. However also processes using only physical effects are designated as etching processes (Physical Etching, Ion Etching). Specific etching processes are:Cleaning of surfaces by removing Oxyd-layers or adhering layers.Changing surface structures for example because of [..]

An etching is made by covering a copper or zinc plate with wax or resin then removing lines of wax by drawing into it with a sharp implement thus exposing the metal. The plate is then placed in an acid bath. The acid bites into the metal, eating into the plate where it is exposed, the rest of the plate is protected by the wax. Next the acid is wash [..]

Production of designs, including grids, on metal surface by a corrosive reagent or electrolytic action

Subjecting the surface of a metal to preferential chemical or electrolytic attack in order to reveal structural details.

is the controlled preferential attack on a metal surface for the purpose of revealing structural details such as grain size or second phases such as carbides.

A general term referring to a number or INTAGLIO print making techniques where lines marked on a prepared metal PLATE are eaten away [etched] by acid.

Etching refers to the process of using acid to cut into a metal plate. After the plate has “etched”, it is covered with ink and run through the press revealing the etched image on paper.

printmaking technique in which an image is cut into the surface of a metal plate through chemical acid erosion. The plate is first covered with a thin wax layer, called a ground, into which an artist draws the image with a pointed implement, revealing the metal plate underneath. The plate is submerged in acid, which bites the exposed metal into tro [..]
