passziválja

Passziválja is a Hungarian term that translates directly to "it neutralizes" or "it deactivates" in English. It is primarily used in technical and scientific contexts, often referring to a process or substance that renders something inactive or ineffective.

In chemistry, passziválja can describe the process where a metal surface forms a protective oxide layer that prevents further corrosion. This passivation makes the metal resistant to chemical attack. For example, stainless steel is passivated to achieve its rust-resistant properties.

In a broader sense, the term can be applied to systems or mechanisms that are designed to shut down or become inoperative under certain conditions, often for safety reasons. For instance, a safety mechanism might passziválja itself if a dangerous situation is detected, thereby preventing harm. It can also refer to the inactivation of biological agents, such as viruses or bacteria, rendering them non-pathogenic. The specific meaning of passziválja depends heavily on the context in which it is used.
