Safety, performance, and reliability are non-negotiable in the medical and aerospace industries. Both rely heavily on advanced metal finishing processes like passivation to ensure that components operating in highly demanding environments maintain optimal performance and long lifespans. Passivation is a chemical treatment process (most commonly applied...
Metal finishing is an important step in the manufacturing process. Different types of metal finishing techniques can help enhance both metal and nonmetal substrates in various ways. Most improve corrosion resistance, but each process also has its own unique advantages such as improved appearance or...
Passivation is a critical metal finishing technique that helps prevent the corrosion of metal parts that are frequently exposed to the elements. However, many factors affect how long the passivation of stainless steel can last, such as contamination and damage to the substrate. Below, we...
The strength, durability, and appearance of stainless steel make it useful in a wide range of applications. However, despite its natural oxide layer, stainless steel is vulnerable to rust. The passivation process helps improve resistance to corrosion and extend the lifespan of stainless steel parts. At...
Passivation removes contaminants from metal surfaces and improves corrosion resistance. Passivation is an important step after the manufacturing of stainless steel and other metal parts that ensures sufficient rust resistance. At ChemResearch Corporation, passivation is one of the many surface treatments we provide to manufacturers...
