BENEFITS OF PASSIVATION
Contaminant Removal - Passivation removes free iron and other surface contaminants from stainless steel parts, eliminating the contamination left behind by metal forming processes like machining and stamping.
Corrosion Resistance - By restoring stainless steel parts to mill condition, passivation improves their corrosion resistance. The contaminants left on the surface of a part are initiation sites for corrosion to take hold.
