WHAT IS PICKLING AND PASSIVATION FOR STAINLESS STEEL?
Pickling and passivation are often used together to remove contaminants and oxidation from stainless steel, improving corrosion resistance and extending the life and overall value. While chemical Passivation is intended to remove free iron and surface contaminants, it is ineffective at removing existing oxidation, weld oxides, scale and heavy contaminants.
In contrast, pickling utilizes more aggressive acids than those used in passivation. The chemicals utilized for the pickling of stainless steel remove oxidation, weld oxides and scale, and are capable of etching the base material. We also offer passivation services, without pickling, for components that are free of scale and existing oxides.
