Passivation Of Stainless Steel

Passivation Of Stainless Steel tank To ensure stainless steel fabrication or components corrosion resistance is optimised prior to delivery it should undergo a passivation stage. Employing high oxidising agents all surfaces are either sprayed or immersed in a solution, which readily oxidises the Chromium. This rapidly forms the inert layer on the material and creates the critical surface property relied upon in service. Several methods for the passivation of stainless steel are employed depending on the alloy, pre-treatment and type of application. Both ISO 15730 and ASTM A967 Stainless Steel Passivation specification details each process in depth.

After passivating stainless steel parts we will also test each part to make sure that the surfaces are a high industry standard. Each test will make sure that no rust forms on the surface of the steel object although some steel might show some slight staining when subjected to the tests.

Sanitation & Disinfecting

We are under constant attack from bugs causing diseases to young and old. Hospitals and public areas are well known to be ideal sites for these pyrogens to grow and fester, causing no end of problems. Some bacteria known to be resistant to common antibiotics makes this task of containing epidemics even harder to control. Ongoing cleaning programmes must be stringently employed everywhere to keep the spread of disease to a minimum. Both people and existing equipment should be disinfected as well as new and refurbished equipment should also undergo sanitation prior to delivery, reducing the threat even further.
