  • Medical
  • Food and Beverage
  • Semiconductor and Electronics
  • Fluid & Gas Processing
  • Instrumentation

Passivation

Passivation is a treatment of stainless steel with a mild oxidant that is intended to remove free iron and foreign matter. At Olympic Systems we passivate using our citric acid process.

Benefits of Passivation:

  • Improves corrosion resistance by forming a corrosion-resistant passive layer on the surface
  • Eliminates the free iron corrosion potential

Electropolishing

Electropolishing is an electrochemical process by which surface material is removed by an anodic dissolution. During our electropolish process we can achieve a 3 Ra surface finish without compromising dimensional properties. We are capable of electropolishing and passivating AL6XN and 300 and 400 series stainless steel.

Benefits of Electropolishing:

  • Smoother surface
  • Dissolves burrs
  • Less reactive
  • Reduces the adherence of contaminants
  • Improves corrosion-resistant surfaces
  • Allows product to be more easily sanitized
  • Reduces the build-up of some bacterial biofilms
