United States | Dry Lube

Metal Processing / Component - Composite Manufacturing / Raw Material

A solid film lubricant prevents wear, galling, corrosion and seizure of frictional surfaces on metal. Hytek applies all Dri-lubes and Aluminum based coatings for multiple applications.

United States | BMS 10-85 and Aluminized Coating

Metal Processing / Component - Composite Manufacturing / Raw Material

A pigmented coating is specialized coating used to enhance corrosion protection and lubricity, mostly for fasteners. Exclusively used on composite aircraft.

United States | Primers/Top Coats

Metal Processing / Component - Composite Manufacturing / Raw Material

Conventional liquid finishing can provide corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, wear resistance and decorative qualities. Hytek applies all types of primers, topcoats, Teflon, Sol-gel, and specialty finishes.

United States | Nital Etch

PRODUCTS

This chemical process reveals grinding and machining burns, decarburization, rehardening, retempering or case leakage.

United States | Penetrant

PRODUCTS

Penetrant Inspection is a method of inspection for the surface of metals and other nonporous solids for cracks, pits and other defects. The process utilizes fluorescent, water-washable liquid that is allowed to enter defects that can then be identified under black light.

United States | Magnetic Particle

PRODUCTS

Magnetic Particle Inspection is a very sensitive method of inspecting and locating surface or near surface defects in ferromagnetic materials. Magnetic particles are applied to the surface in a liquid suspension. The particles reveal the location, size, shape and extent of the defects.

United States | Chem Treat

Metal Processing / Component - Composite Manufacturing / Raw Material

Chemical Treatment #7 (Dow 7): The dichromate coating is light to dark brown in appearance. It provides a good paint base and fair corrosion resistance. This treatment causes no appreciable dimensional changes to the parts.

United States | Polish & Buffing

Metal Processing / Component - Composite Manufacturing / Raw Material

Metals which are commonly polished include aluminum, stainless steel, titanium and chromium. Aluminum is usually anodized with sulfuric acid after polishing to increase durability and enhance appearance.

United States | Abrasive Blasting

Metal Processing / Component - Composite Manufacturing / Raw Material

Abrasive blasting is used to remove heat treat scale, contamination and surface defects. It is also used as preparation of surfaces prior to painting and plating. Plastic media blasting used to remove organic finishes without damage to the substrate.

United States | Shot Peen

Metal Processing / Component - Composite Manufacturing / Raw Material

Shot Peening is a process that induces compressive stresses into the part, thereby increasing fatigue strength and improving stress corrosion resistance. Hytek offers a wide range of computer controlled peening methods and materials servicing OEMs worldwide. We also offer computer controlled ID peening and Glass bead peening.

United States | Chrome

Metal Processing / Component - Composite Manufacturing / Raw Material

Hytek is a partner with a major Grind shop very near our Kent, Washington facility for all your grinding needs.

United States | Hardcoat

Metal Processing / Component - Composite Manufacturing / Raw Material

Hardcoat produces a heavy dense coating that provides greater wear resistance and corrosion protection. This coating can also be dyed a variety of colors.

United States | Chromic

Metal Processing / Component - Composite Manufacturing / Raw Material

This traditional anodize coating process system is corrosion resistant and a very good base for paint.

United States | Boric

Metal Processing / Component - Composite Manufacturing / Raw Material

Boric Sulfuric Acid Anodize has superior corrosion resistance and excellent base for paint. This coating is a substitute for chromic acid anodize.

United States | Sulfuric

Metal Processing / Component - Composite Manufacturing / Raw Material

Clear in appearance, a sulfuric acid anodized coating is a very popular coating for decorative use with good corrosion resistance. This is a porous coating which is ideal for applying dyes.
