Chemical Processing

Almost all metallic materials require some form of chemical processing, whether to prevent corrosion, detect flaws, determine electrical conductivity, or otherwise prepare the sample for machining. 

A range of chemical processing capabilities

Stork's chemical processing capabilities range from passivation to pre-penetrant etch, macro etch, and alkaline-cleaning. In each instance, the chemical process performed has been developed to meet various engineering requirements critical to a product’s intended function.

Stork's chemical processing laboratories are carefully designed and monitored to provide the highest quality processing environment. Our staff receive advanced training in technique and in operating and controlling processing solutions. Many aspects of the laboratory are automated and equipped with controls that minimize variations in the process.

Applications for various metals and nondestructive testing methods

Some of the applications for chemical processing include: 
  • Pre-penetrant etching of titanium, aluminum, magnesium, stainless steels, nickel-based alloys
  • Macro etching of super nickel and titanium alloys for grain-size measurements and defect solutions
  • Passivation of stainless steels for corrosion resistance
  • Alkaline cleaning for non-ferrous materials

Stork is a recognized leader in materials testing and inspection; our chemical processing methods and technology achieve the highest standards of quality in the industry.
