Passzivációját

Passzivációját refers to the process of passivation. Passivation is a chemical treatment that increases the resistance of a metal or alloy to corrosion by forming a protective, passive film on its surface. This film is typically thin, adherent, and non-reactive with the surrounding environment.

The most common method of passivation is electropolishing, which uses an electrolytic process to remove a thin layer of metal and promote the formation of a passive oxide layer. Other methods include chemical treatments with strong oxidizing acids, such as nitric acid or citric acid. The specific chemicals and conditions used depend on the type of metal or alloy being passivated and the desired level of corrosion resistance.

Passivation is widely used in various industries, including aerospace, medical devices, food processing, and chemical manufacturing. In the aerospace industry, it is applied to aircraft components to prevent corrosion in harsh environments. Medical devices, such as surgical instruments and implants, are passivated to ensure biocompatibility and prevent corrosion within the human body. The food processing industry uses passivation to maintain hygienic conditions and prevent metal contamination of food products.

The effectiveness of passivation is typically evaluated by corrosion testing, such as salt spray tests or electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Regular inspection and re-passivation may be necessary to maintain the protective properties of the passive film over time.
