“…In PCM process, a stencil called photo tool, is used to expose multiple images of the parts to be made on a sheet of raw material that has been coated with a light sensitive and acid-resistant material, called resist. After the images of the parts have been developed, and the uncured "resist" is washed away, metal around the part is dissolved using an etchant [7].…”

Abstract:This study shows the effect of etching condition on microchannel of 100 µm width. Microchannels were fabricated on Monel 400 substrate by using different concentration of Ferric chloride (FeCl 3 ) and nitric acid (HNO 3 ) in water. Effect of exposure time on channel width and peel off resistance of photoresist is also studied. It is found that etching temperature has significant effect on undercut and depth of etch.

“…(Muhl & George 1995) studied direct printing of etch masks under computer control in which all the stages of photo-processing and mask making [2]. (Saraf & Sadaiah 2013;Liu et al 2005) developed an artificial neural network model for the etching process [14][15][16][17][18][19]. The manufacture of WC micro-shaft by using electrochemical etching was investigated by (Choi et al 2006).…”

Abstract:Undercut plays a crucial role in the industry of photochemical machining technology. This paper inspects the effect of undercut on the process parameter in Photochemical Machining (PCM) of SS304. A full factorial (3 3 ) Design of Experiments (DoE) were performed consisting of twenty-seven experimental runs. The concentration of etchant, temperature and time of etching were assumed to be the control parameters whereas the undercut (Uc) was considered to be the response parameter. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique was used to analyze the effect of control parameters on undercut and thus the evaluation of its optimal conditions were performed. The experimental investigations revealed that the temperature of etchant and time of etching are the most substantial factors affecting the undercut.
