METAL PLATING
PASSIVATION PLATING SERVICES
PASSIVATION
Our passivation services help to prevent corrosion and pitting of stainless steels. The name “stainless” steel might suggest that passivation is unnecessary. However, stainless steels are not completely impervious to rusting.

Finish and Processing Options
Passivation
Northeast Metal Works stainless steel passivation process creates an oxide layer on the surface of the part that protects the surface from rust and corrosion. The actual passivation process used is tailored to your specific stainless steel grade and application.
