PASSIVATION
- Steps for Effective Passivation
1. Identify the Metal Type: Different metals and alloys may require specific passivation treatments.
2. Select the Appropriate Method: Choose between nitric acid, citric acid, or other specialized treatments based on the application and regulatory requirements.
3. Conduct Pre-Cleaning: Thoroughly clean the metal surface to remove all contaminants.
4. Apply Passivation Treatment: Follow the specific protocol for the chosen passivation method.
5. Rinse and Dry: Rinse the metal with deionized water and dry it completely to finalize the passivation process.
6. Inspect and Test: Conduct inspections and tests, such as the water immersion test or copper sulfate test, to ensure the passivation layer is effective.
Passivation is a crucial process in many industries, ensuring the longevity and performance of metal components by protecting them from the damaging effects of corrosion.
