Masking is the process of covering holes and surfaces before finishing so that the treatment only affects a designated area. Valence employees have extensive experience with complex masking using various materials such as tape, glue etc.

Titanium part manufacturing results in a surface that cannot bond, and does not accept bonding primers. An alkaline peroxide etching process, also known as clean and etch, leaves a surface texture well suited to adhesive bonding and the application of bonding primers.

Stress relief baking minimizes stresses caused by the machining and cutting of a part during manufacture. This reduces the likelihood of unwanted dimension changes in parts that often require tight tolerances.
