Precision Etched Metal Flow Plates for Fuel Cells & Heat Exchangers with Complex Micro Etching

Precision Etched Metal Flow Plates for Fuel Cells & Heat Exchangers with Complex Micro Etching

Flow Plates Overview

Xinhaisen Technology is a leading manufacturer of high-precision etched flow plates used in injection molding, die casting, and industrial fluid distribution systems. Our chemically etched flow plates ensure ultra-smooth material flow, minimal pressure loss, and extended tooling life compared to conventional machined alternatives.

Manufacturing Process

Our primary manufacturing method is Precision Chemical Etching, which is ideal for creating complex, burr-free channels without inducing mechanical stress or deformation in the metal. 

Flow Plates Features

• Complex Design Capability: Easily produce intricate, multi-level channel geometries that are difficult or expensive with traditional machining.

• Burr-Free Channels: Etching ensures smooth, clean fluid pathways, preventing clogging and minimizing pressure drop.

• Superior Flatness & Uniformity: Excellent for sealing in stackable systems like fuel cells or heat exchangers.

• Material Integrity: Stress-free processing preserves the metal's inherent properties, such as corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity.

• Rapid Prototyping: Go from design to functional prototype in days, not weeks.

Flow Plates Specification

Flow Plates Applications

• Fuel Cells & Electrolyzers: Bipolar Plates for reactant distribution.

• Liquid Cooling Systems: Cold Plates for high-power electronics (e.g., servers, EVs).

• Heat Exchangers: Micro-channel plates for compact, efficient thermal management.

• Medical & Lab Equipment: Fluidic manifolds and mixer plates in diagnostic devices.

FAQ 

Q1: What's the advantage of etched flow plates over machined ones?

Etched plates provide smoother channels, no burrs, and better wear resistance at lower cost for complex designs. 

Q2: Can you produce conformal cooling channels?

Yes! We specialize in 3D cooling channels that follow mold contours for optimal thermal management.

Q3: What's your lead time for prototype runner plates?

5-7 working days after design approval (faster than CNC machining).
