Passivation of Stainless Steel

Extend the life and optimize the performance of your stainless steel parts with our passivation services. Passivation is a targeted chemical treatment that removes surface contaminants and strengthens the natural corrosion-resistant layer on stainless steel. This translates to significant advantages for your business.

Stainless Steel Passivation

By undergoing stainless steel passivation, your stainless steel components gain superior resistance to rust, pitting, and other forms of corrosion. This translates into longer lifespans, reduced maintenance costs, and improved product reliability. Passivation is especially crucial for parts used in demanding environments, such as those involving chemicals, saltwater, or extreme temperatures. Additionally, passivation ensures a cleaner, more passive surface, minimizing the risk of contamination in applications like food processing or medical devices. Invest in passivation to safeguard the longevity, integrity, and functionality of your stainless steel components.

Metal Passivation

Our metal passivation process ensures all items that have been passivated will be free from exogenous iron and related compounds on stainless steel surfaces by means of a chemical solution that meets or exceeds ASTM standards for passivation of stainless steels. TruFab Stainless utilizes citric acid per ASTM A-967.

  • Paste passivation process is also available upon request.
  • Certifications also provided.
