PSV-72 PASSIVATION
- Passivation is a chemical process used to enhance the corrosion resistance of metals, particularly
- stainless steel and aluminum. It involves treating the surface with a mild oxidant, such as nitric acid or
- citric acid, to remove free iron and contaminants. This creates a thin, protective oxide layer that prevents
- rust and degradation.
* Key Aspects of Passivation:
1 Purpose: Improves corrosion resistance by forming a passive oxide layer.
2 Common Metals: Stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and other corrosion-resistant alloys.
3 Chemicals Used: Nitric acid, citric acid, or other oxidizing agents.
4 Application Areas: Aerospace, medical devices, automotive, food processing, and marine industries.
5 Comparison to Coatings: Unlike powder coating or spray applications (like Airmix or Inogun).
passivation does not add a physical layer but rather enhances the existing metal surface.# PSV-72 PASSIVATION Manufacturer.
