Passivation is a chemical process used to enhance the corrosion resistance of metals, particularly stainless steel. The process is similar to other electroless coating processes, first, the parts are cleaned and then immersed in the passivation solution which is typically either a nitric acid or citric acid which removes surface contaminants, especially free iron, which is prone to rusting. This cleaned surface then reacts with oxygen in the air and forms a thin layer of chromium oxide protecting the metal from environmental exposure.
Passivation offers a number of benefits:
Common metals that can be passivated include stainless steels, titanium and copper alloys. Passivation is a great process to enhance the performance and longevity of metal components. To find out more about passivation of CNC machined and other parts talk to HLH at, info@hlhrapid.com.
