Nital Etch
The Nital etch processing area has been carefully planned, with fully trained personnel to provide a means of detecting surface defects of all kinds with particular emphasis on the detection of grinding abuse. Where components have been subjected to surface hardening treatments such as carburising and hardening or nitride hardening the surface is vulnerable to severe damage caused by poor grinding techniques, which may not be visible unless Nital etched and inspected by trained personnel with specialised equipment.
Micro Precision Ltd are fully approved and equipped to carry out the Nital etch inspection process and have NADCAP accreditation for chemical processes.
