In this video, I test the four different metal etching solutions I prepared in the previous video. I evaluate the performance of each solution, which are ideal for knife makers and those looking to write on metal surfaces using the electrolytic method, and share the results with you. If you're curious about which solution delivers the best results, don't miss this video!
Information Note:
The blade steel is chrome vanadium saw steel. The steel is hardened, but it warped, so I used it as a test blade. The surface has been sanded with 240 grit sandpaper.
In all tests, I first tried to create a cavity on the steel using 24V DC and then tried to darken the cavity with 24V AC. Only in the last test, which I mentioned as 12V in the intro scene, I used 12V DC and applied both + and + polarities. The difference between 24V and 12V in my tests was speed; 24V darkened the cavity faster.
In the tests with the larger logo stencil, only the water and salt solution was more successful. With the other solutions, the edges of the logo outline were significantly eroded. In the smaller logo stencils, almost all the solutions produced similar results.
What caught my attention here is that smaller stencils seemed to perform better.
