Nice deep etch. Rewire the transformer (and throw a switch in there) in your car charger to get AC out of it and you can blacken the background. First etch and then blacken. Looks really good as well.

Sir how to etching sculpture design on iron. Because my job size 14 mm round shape.so it's not possible design cutting on vinyl.its possible only design transfer by photo resistance film.but after transfer design .When I etching on iron like your process.the film removed during process so how to fix photo resistance film on iron bar.please help me.
the blog link in description says that spray paint also worked as a resist. So you could use a stencil, and spray or dapple your design onto the surface. But first, i'd just suggest you SAND the metal surface, and clean it with a solvent like alchohol (ethanol / methylated spirits) or acetone. Coz it may just be that the surface is dirty and that's why the resist falls off.
Depending on the electrical current (AC or DC) used, marking and etching give different results and affect the metal surface differently. AC (Alternating Current) marking/etching results in a dark mark/imprint on the metal piece - without any changes done to the surface. On the other hand, Direct Current - DC marking is more similar to engraving - some of the surface is removed through a chemical reaction.

Hell I soak my guns in vinegar to remove the bluing then green scotchbrite and water to remove it them polish it till its like a mirrored finish poor mans chrome job lol
@@rajatsingh8348 naw its perfectly fine bro it has to break the coating of the blueing first it really dont do any harm . liquid soap in the scrubbing rinsing process neutralize any acidity. We aint etching it by adding baking soada or electricity its fine . be no more than using citric acid then neutralizing it with soaps alkalinity. I work with chemicals daily trust me we are good to go.
Nice job. 12 volts DC at around 5 amps and one hour. Etching looks to be about 1 mm (1/25th in) deep. Thanks for showing us.
Well that was quick clear and straight to the point. Thank you for sharing.

64t120r thanks for the tip!
best bitumen diluted a bit in gasoline, paint over, dry and scratch the pattern, letters, it is possible under a microscope, and etch ....
and there is "white bitumen" to draw above because with black you can't see the drawing!
How do you make the sticky design paper/vinyl?
Is that made on a printer?
Super cool!!! I'll be doing this. Thank you for the video!
Where did you get the peel and stick stencils from
Great looking job for sure
Does the power source matter and is that a copper pipe attached to the negative?
what material is clamped in the black wire boss

Can I do the same thing with copper?
Yes, for negative part u can use copper piece
Do you mean copper piece instead of a steel piece? Not sure if this method works with copper, but it will with aluminum
will this work on brass bronze & silver metal clays
Lorri Carnevale Did you find out if this is possible on copper, brass, or bronze?
Works on aluminum
Ciao che tipo di metallo hai immerso? si può fare con l'alluminio?
I have found that the vinegar achieves nothing Just salt and water will do exactly the same job.
Oh, great! Thanks for your input!

so many thanks' 🙏🙏🙏
good luck & succses for you🙏🙏
How much detail can you get with that. I.e. a family or fraternity crest. Did you print the desing on the vinyle first
I also engraved a leather rolling stamp and it was really detailed. Check it out: g00.eu/2016/10/25/electro-etching-steel-part-two/
Salve che materiale a usato per fissare l'immagine nel metallo?

Or use a ferric chloride acid method instead
Title sounds like one of a Guy-Ritchie-Movie ...
If we don't have dc voltage can we do it with ac if yes tell me how
Depending on the electrical current (AC or DC) used, marking and etching give different results and affect the metal surface differently.
AC (Alternating Current) marking/etching results in a dark mark/imprint on the metal piece - without any changes done to the surface.
On the other hand, Direct Current - DC marking is more similar to engraving - some of the surface is removed through a chemical reaction.
@@thebeybladearmory Are there any bad fumes from this process?
@@crusader3012 as always wear PPE and do in a ventilated area
Is this method useful for stainless steel?
Enrique Gonzalez -yes it works on stainless steel as well!
DC voltage or AC voltage??
DC

Vinegar makes the iron weak

Wow luar biasa
WE CAN ESHING ON ALL METALS
woow
