In accordance with the present invention, an apparatus and method for application of a chemical process on a component surface is provided. In an embodiment for an apparatus for preparing a component surface for application of a chemical process, the apparatus includes a base, an o-ring retainer, an o-ring, a boot, and a retention ring. The component is mounted on the base. The o-ring is positioned on the o-ring retainer and the o-ring retainer is inserted through an aperture in the component and mated with the base. The assembled component, base, o-ring retainer, and o-ring are positioned within the boot. The retention ring is positioned around the boot. In an embodiment for a method for applying a wet chemical solution to the component surface to oxidize the component surface, where the wet chemical solution is contained within a tank, the method steps include immersing the component in the wet chemical solution, heating the wet chemical solution with a heater, and positioning the surface of the component in a horizontal, upward facing position and within the tank such that a baffle is disposed between the surface and the heater.
An apparatus for preparing a component surface for application of a chemical process, the component defining an aperture therein and including an upper inside beveled surface extending around an inner circumference and an upper outside beveled surface extending around an outer circumference, comprising:
An apparatus for application of a chemical process to a plurality of masked components, each of said plurality of masked components having unmasked surfaces including an outside beveled surface, a top surface, and an inside beveled surface, said apparatus comprising:
