Passivation
Passivation is a chemical treatment used to make a material less reactive to external agents. This process forms a protective layer on the material's surface, significantly reducing corrosion.
The passivation process works by creating an oxide layer on the metal surface. This layer acts as a barrier that prevents oxidizing agents and corrosive elements from penetrating and reacting with the base metal.
Technical Characteristics
Aluminum Passivation
This surface conversion chemical treatment produces a passive film by transforming the surface layers of aluminum. It can be performed as a final treatment or as a pretreatment for painting. It is carried out on aluminum and its alloys.
Stainless Steel Passivation
This chemical treatment is performed on stainless steel parts to remove iron or other less noble material contaminants that would compromise the corrosion resistance of the components.
Materials Treated
- Aluminum
- Stainless Steel
Allowed Dimensions
Frame processing up to 2 meters in length and barrel plating for small parts.
Types of Treatment
- Frame
- Barrel
