Stainless Steel Passivation
Why Passivate Stainless Steel?
Normally, stainless steel is resistant to surface attack in mildly corrosive environments. When corrosion does occur, pits form on the surface or within details of the component.
What can be done to prevent this? Stainless steel passivation is the process of applying a transparent passive film on stainless steel to protect it from corrosion and oxidation.
Stainless Steel Passivation Benefits:In processing operations such as machining and forming, iron and foreign particles may become imbedded in the surface of a stainless steel part. Stainless steel passivation removes free iron or iron compounds from a stainless steel surface with the use of chemicals; typically an acid solution that removes the surface problem but does not affect the stainless steel itself. If these particles are not removed they will appear as rust or oxidation. Passivation will dissolve the particles and allow a thin transparent film to form on the surface |
