Stainless Steel Passivation

What is Stainless Steel Passivation?

The biggest feature that distinguishes stainless steel metals from other metals is the corome-oxide passive layer. This layer is removed from the surface during manufacturing or regional distortions occur.

“Passivation” is the name given to all the chemical processes that are carried out to reestablish the Chromium Oxide (Passive Layer) layer by correcting the distortions. If a correct passivation process is not applied after manufacturing, the material will be constantly corroded. The quality of stainless steel used in passivation application requires variety and different applications according to determining factors such as shape of construction, purpose of use, surface quality.
