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.
A pigmented coating is specialized coating used to enhance corrosion protection and lubricity, mostly for fasteners. Exclusively used on composite aircraft.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hardcoat produces a heavy dense coating that provides greater wear resistance and corrosion protection. This coating can also be dyed a variety of colors.
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.
