Passivation PSV-72
- Passivation is a process used to enhance the corrosion resistance of stainless steel and other metals by removing free iron and other contaminants from the surface. PSV-72 is a specific type of passivation chemical or solution, typically formulated to provide effective passivation for various stainless steel grades.
- Benefits of Passivation with PSV-72:
1. Enhanced Corrosion Resistance: Passivation with PSV-72 helps remove surface contaminants like free iron, which can lead to rust. This process increases the natural protective oxide layer on stainless
steel, enhancing its resistance to corrosion.
2. Improved Surface Cleanliness: PSV-72 effectively cleans the metal surface, removing any residues from manufacturing processes such as welding, machining, or heat treatment.
3. Increased Durability: By creating a passive, non-reactive surface, PSV-72-treated metals are less prone to chemical attacks, extending the life of the components in harsh environments.
4. Compliance with Standards: Passivation with chemicals like PSV-72 often meets industry standards, such as ASTM A967, ensuring that treated parts comply with specific regulatory requirements for
corrosion resistance.
