Passivation process is a chemical treatment method that removes iron from the surface of stainless steel, improving its resistance to corrosion and rusting. The process creates a passive oxide layer on the surface of the material that provides a barrier against further corrosion. Let’s break down the basic steps for Passivation a part:

• Clean and prepare surfaces for passivation
• Passivation solution preparation
• The material to be passivated is immersed in the passivation solution for a set amount of time
• The material is rinsed with water to remove any remaining passivation solution
• The material may be neutralized with a solution, such as sodium bicarbonate
• Dry and inspect the material
