Identify the stainless steel and process
Provide the stainless-steel grade, component geometry, current surface condition and subsequent service. Cleaning and preparation must be reviewed alongside passivation.
Separate preparation from passivation
Remove contamination using an appropriate preparation process. Confirm with the product documentation whether additional removal of weld scale or heat tint is needed; do not assume passivation replaces every surface-treatment step.
Agree inspection and documentation
Define the customer’s inspection or acceptance requirements and validate the complete process on representative components. Request the current TDS and SDS before establishing operating parameters.
