Abstract
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.
