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 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. Below, we explain how long it lasts and how frequently you may need to re-passivate. How Long Does...
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...
