Surface Treatment

The Production Parts finishing and surface treatment services using our qualified and experienced sub-contractors include pretreat or finish of the surfaces of manufactured components to meet roughness or surface condition requirements. Common processes include:

  • anodizing,

  • blasting,

  • buffing,

  • polishing,

  • electropolishing,

  • chemical finishing,

  • deburring,

  • honing,

  • mass finishing,

  • passivation,

  • pickling,

  • sanding, and

  • grinding.

Some of our finishing and surface treatment services process new components or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. Others restore damaged surfaces or provide services at customer sites or in the field. Our finishing and surface treatment services meet International Standards Organization (ISO) requirements and automotive, aerospace, military, and OEM specifications.

Non Destructive Testing

Nondestructive testing (also called NDT, nondestructive evaluation, NDE, and nondestructive inspection, NDI) is testing that does not destroy the test object. NDT is vital for constructing and maintaining all types of components and structures. To detect different defects such as cracking and corrosion, Production Parts uses different methods of testing that are available, such as X-ray (where cracks show up on the film) and ultrasound (where cracks show up as an echo blip on the screen).

While destructive testing usually provides a more reliable assessment of the state of the test object, destruction of the test object usually makes this type of test more costly to the test object's owner than nondestructive testing. Destructive testing is also inappropriate in many circumstances, such as forensic investigation. That there is a tradeoff between the cost of the test and its reliability favors a strategy in which most test objects are inspected nondestructively; destructive testing is performed on a sampling of test objects that is drawn randomly for the purpose of characterizing the testing reliability of the nondestructive test.

During their service lives, many industrial components need regular nondestructive tests to detect damage that may be difficult or expensive to find by everyday methods.  At Production Parts we are able to provide through-life support for manufactured components.
