Passivation Cleaning Passivation is a chemical cleaning process that is designed to remove free iron and other ferrous contaminants from the surface of stainless steel parts. By removing the contamination from machining, stamping, etc., you are helping restore the material to the original mill condition and corrosion specifications. IS PASSIVATION THE RIGHT PROCESS?. Several popular grades of stainless steel should not be passivated due to low levels of chromium and nickel. When passivated, you run the risk... (read more) -
Eagle Stainless Tube & Fabrication, Inc.
What is passivation? What is passivation?. Passivation is the treatment of the stainless steel with an oxidizing chemical (typically nitric or citric acid) which promotes a thin oxidizing layer to form on the surface of the metal. This thin layer will help protect the metal from chemical attack. Fabrication of the metal can reduce the overall corrosion performance of the stainless steel; therefore, making the passivation process an essential step. If iron particles become embedded in the surface of the metal during... (read more) -
