Dual Process Unit Automated Ultrasonic Passivation System
System Description Common Applications Common Configurations Our dual-process unit automated ultrasonic passivation equipment performs an automated ultrasonic process of cleaning-rinsing-passivation-rinsing-drying by moving the fluids from heated storage tanks into ultrasonic process tanks. The traditional method involved moving the parts basket through a series of tanks. Our dual process unit is similar to our Ultrasonic Cleaner Machine […]
Automated Chemical Neutralization Tank / Cart
After passivation, part cleaning or other chemical processes, the passivation acid, the alkaline cleaners, and other chemicals cannot be re-used but also cannot be disposed of until they are neutralized to a suitable pH level. Requirements vary by chemistry and municipality, but commonly a pH between 6 and 10 is acceptable for disposal into facility […]
What is Passivation? How Does Passivation Process Work? How To Passivate Stainless Steel Parts?
What is passivation, and how does it work? How do I passivate stainless steel parts after machining operations? These are common questions asked by machining shops and manufacturers of various part materials: stainless steel, titanium, tantalum and more. What is passivation? Passivation is a non-electrolytic finishing process that makes stainless steel more rust-resistant. The passivation […]
Passivation vs. Electropolishing
What’s the difference between electropolishing vs. passivation? Are both necessary for processing a part? Which one should be done first? These common questions often lead to confusion in industry because of specification callouts vs. true understanding of each process. Passivation Definition is… a non-electrolytic process typically using nitric or citric acid which removes free iron […]
