Variations of the process
Typically, there are 4 process variants used in the process - HF gas, teflon (also called the "Dayton Process", CF4 or Carbon Tetrafluoride Gas and the "big-burp" chrome fluoride process. Each process has its positives and negatives which can be discuused in detail simply by calling our technical personnel at AMC.

What the process does:
As is evident above in the graphs, both aluminum and titanium - the spinel formers - undergo alloy depletion. This means simply that the alloy has these elements "taken out" or removed from the outer skin. Depletion rate and depth is a function of time (rate here is typically inversely proportional to the square root of time), temperature as well as the elemental concentration in the original alloy. In addition, the HF process converts the oxides present to volatile fluorides which - when present in cracks - leaves the crack free of oxides.
