PASSIVATION

PASSIVATION

Stainless steel is naturally corrosion resistant; however, it becomes contaminated when subsequent forming and machining operations are performed that introduce free iron particles and other surface contaminates. Passivation is the chemical treatment of stainless steel with a mild oxidant, such as nitric or citric acid solution, to remove the surface contamination and enhance the spontaneous formation of a protective passive film on stainless steel.

PTI offers both Nitric and Citric Acid Passivation.
