DEFINITIONS:
Photo Etched Pins:
Photo etching is a manufacturing process that combines artwork with
photography and acid etching.
Photo etched pins
look similar to soft enamel pins, but require a thinner base metal
and allow more detailed design.
The steps for the
photo etched pins:
1. Metal cleaning:
Remove the oils and dirt from the surface
2. Imaging:
Generate artwork by CAD then transfer the image from a photonegative
to the metal.
3. Etching: A
chemical acid to produce the finished design etches the imaged metal.
4. Rinsing: After
etching, the metal pieces are rinsed of the acid.
5. Coloring &
Baking: Fill soft enamel into the design and bake.
6. Smoothing &
Polishing: To get the final finished shape.
7. Plating: Gold,
silver, nickel or antique plating.
8. Epoxy coating:
For protection.
Stamped Soft Enamel:
The making of this die is the same as cloisonné pins, it starts as a
cylinder piece of steel. After carving the artwork design on it, the
hardening process must be performed otherwise the die is too soft to
stand the stamping impact. When copper piece is stamped a tool is
used to cut out the shape. If no color is applied then you go
directly into plating after polishing.
Cloisonné:
Or so-called Hard Enamel is a method of decorating metal or ceramic
with enameling. In China it is an antique traditional art developed
some several hundred years ago. In producing cloisonné lapel pins.
The base material is usually copper and struck by a die that the
artwork is molded onto. The surface of the copper plate has the
outline of the design after stamping. The channel formed by the
outline is then filled with enamel that has glass-like material and
is finely ground into a powder. If many colors are applied, only one
color is fired at a time. The temperature is around 800-900 degree
Centigrade. Material is then cooled down then refill enamel powder to
fire again, because the enamel will shrink a little bit after firing.
The next step is polishing by emery cloth until the surface is flat
enough to the outline of base metal thus the design will show up.
This step also smoothes the surface and assures the even exposure of
the design.
Cloisonné pins are
inherently scratch resistant and do not require an epoxy dome for
protection. But due to the natural material the color options are limited.
