Passivation
Passivation is the chemical treatment of a stainless steel with
a mild oxidant such as Avesta FinishOne Passivator 630, with the
purpose of removing free iron from the surface and speed up the
process of forming a protective/passive layer.
The term passivation is commonly applied to several distinctly
different operations or processes relating to stainless steels. In
order to avoid ambiguity in the setting of requirements, it may be
necessary for the purchaser to define precisely the intended
meaning of passivation.
Passivation is not effective for the removal of heat tint or
oxide scale on stainless steel.
Removal of heat tint or oxide is necessary for passivation to be
effective.
