Passivation for Superior Protection
Enhancing corrosion resistance while maintaining the integrity and appearance of your stainless steel components.
At SM Finishes, our passivation services are designed to maximize the natural corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Using controlled chemical treatments, we remove free iron and surface contaminants that can compromise performance. The result is a clean, passive surface layer that greatly extends the life and durability of your components — without altering dimensions or appearance.
Why Our Passivation Stands Out
We combine industry-leading expertise with precision-controlled processes to deliver unmatched quality in stainless steel passivation.
- Corrosion Protection
- Non-Dimensional Process
- Embedded Contaminants
- ASTM A967 & AMS 2700
- Improved Performance
- Eco-Responsible
Our passivation services are engineered to optimize the corrosion resistance and longevity of stainless steel components. Through a carefully controlled chemical treatment, we remove surface contaminants and enhance the material’s natural passive layer, resulting in a high-chromium oxide surface that offers superior protection against rust and pitting.
Precision & Craftsmanship
Our facility uses automated chemical baths, strict process timing, and continuous quality monitoring to ensure every part achieves optimal passivation depth and consistency. We provide full traceability and documentation for critical applications.
Applications
Passivation is essential for stainless steel components used in aerospace, medical devices, marine hardware, food processing equipment, and high-precision engineering industries.
