Considerations for Passivation
While passivation is highly effective, certain factors require attention. These considerations are managed through precise process control to deliver high-quality treatments tailored to specific needs.
Substrate Compatibility
Passivation is suited to stainless steel, where it removes free iron to form a protective layer without altering appearance.
Surface Preparation
Components must be clean before treatment to ensure the oxide film forms effectively, avoiding residue issues.
Finish Integrity
The process maintains the original surface look, but testing like humidity or salt spray can verify corrosion resistance.
Process Safety
Solutions like nitric or citric acid need careful handling to ensure safety during application.
