We didn't invent chelant passivation, we're perfecting it. (read more)

Passivation is a chemical cleaning process that is designed to remove free iron and other ferrous contaminants from the surface of stainless steel parts. (read more)

Surface Purification

Chemical milling has proven effective for the removal of EDM recast layers, carburization layers and oxidation layers on a variety of alloys including Alpha case removal on titanium. It is also effective for removing smeared metal surfaces caused by conventional machining to facilitate dye penetrant inspection. (read more)

Tech Met performs chemical milling primarily on titanium, hi-temp and ferrous alloy components, and some aluminum alloys. Alloys such as Superalloys, Nickel, tantalum, copper, and magnesium are also processed. (read more)

Tech Met has developed (and patented) a unique surface texture used primarily on orthopedic implants. This surface promotes bone on-growth and osseointegration. This surface has been employed on both titanium and cobalt chrome components.

Other applications include enhanced bonding surfaces for metal to composite joining. (read more)

Tech Met has worked to develop a variety of chemical milling and etch related processes to enable production of such products as fusion welded Inconel heat exchangers, titanium metal matrix composites, thin metallic foils down to .0004" thick, and precision patterns etched on 3-dimensional shapes.

Chemical milling can be done from all surfaces or selectively via masking. Milling is done to print or specification.

Typical applications of chemical milling include Inconel jet engine mixer components, titanium exhaust system cowlings, forgings (titanium, steel, or hi-temp), engine combustion cases, and thin wall tub... (read more)
