Passivation improves the corrosion resistance properties of stainless steel and titanium components by dissolving iron or other impurities that has been imbedded in the surface during forming or machining.
Hillock offers numerous passivation processes (nitric acid, nitric acid & chromic acid, citric acid) to ensure all customers parts can receive the passivation process. Extensive R&D has resulted in a robust process for the most difficult of alloys, such as 416 and 440C.
