At the beginning of the year, VCC gathered to commit ourselves to practicing a motto we had created, and we called it "Service at our Core." We've come to view it as far more than a slogan. Service and being of service is truly a fundamental component of the VCC culture and fabric. We do a lot of things that VCC, but being of service is so essential in our industry and it is critical to what makes us successful. This focus on service applies to many aspects of our work and our personal lives. It means that we have to be of service to our colleagues and fellow VCC team members. Certainly we have to be of service to our clients and to be of service to our trade partners and vendors who help us get the job done every day. We also have to remember that it's critical that we're of service to our communities where we build as well. Our vision for this motto is that we will remain 100% bought in to this commitment to service. It cannot be a temporary thing. This can't be a flavor of the month or a marketing slogan. It must continue to be at the center of everything we do. I am so proud of the effort that we see every day from each and every VCC team member that they've brought to this commitment. And we can hold our heads high for delivering exceptional levels of service and excellence in all we do. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your projects and to be of service to your team.

Why a clean-looking aerospace part can still fail a residue test

Why a clean-looking aerospace part can still fail a residue test

Element Materials Technology explains NVR and gravimetric cleanliness testing for aerospace, defense and medical parts in a webinar featuring its Hartford and Los Angeles labs. Joe Moore and Katie Legowski show how a blank analysis, a solvent rinse and a weighed filter patch turn invisible residue into a number against IEST-STD-CC1246 levels, and how AMS 2700 F changed the passivation acid default in 2018.

  • 01Nonvolatile residue testing weighs what a solvent rinse removes from a part, so a film the eye cannot see becomes a pass or fail figure against the drawing.
  • 02IEST-STD-CC1246E, the document that replaced MIL-STD-1246 in 2002, sets residue limits from 10 nanograms to 25 milligrams per 0.1 square meter, and its particle levels count down to 5 microns, far below the 100 micron width of a hair.
