GARDEN GROVE, CA MARCH 21, 2022
ÂÒÂ׶ÌÊÓƵ Garden Grove Operations (formerly known as Coastline Metal Finishing) has completed the installation and commissioning of their new Nondestructive testing (NDT) line. The new line, along with inspection personnel, has passed several key audits including obtaining Nadcap NDT accreditation. ÂÒÂ׶ÌÊÓƵ Garden Grove is now offering the following processes for aluminum alloys:
- Pre-penetrant Etch (Currently aluminum only)
- Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection – MIL-STD-6866/ASTM-E-1417 (Currently aluminum only)
Juan Cadenas, ÂÒÂ׶ÌÊÓƵ Garden Grove General Manager, highlights, “Nondestructive testing plays a critical role in the safety of spacecraft components and ensures our pilots and astronauts return to Earth safely. ÂÒÂ׶ÌÊÓƵ Garden Grove is proud to now offer this service to our customers, further enabling a true turn-key special processing solution post-machining.â€
Nondestructive testing is typically the first step in the special processing sequence. In the past, customers needed to utilize a separate supplier for their NDT needs. Adding this NDT service enables ÂÒÂ׶ÌÊÓƵ Garden Grove to simplify the supply chain for customers with a one-stop-shop solution, eliminating unnecessary transportation of parts to multiple suppliers. These new inspection services are fully operational and ready to support the aerospace and defense supply chain today. Please contact us for additional information at: .
