Aluminum Passivation: Slowing Down or Preventing Oxidation

Process Overview

Bama offers advanced aluminum passivation, enabling the use of this ductile material in various applications. Aluminum does not naturally have corrosion protection, requiring induced passivation.

Benefits

Aluminum passivation is crucial both as an isolated process and as part of a series of treatments (e.g., pickling, electropolishing).

It slows down or prevents oxidation, making it ideal for commercial use.

The procedure follows similar steps as for stainless steel and other metal alloys, involving immersion in acid solutions or manual application of solutions or gels. The solutions typically contain nitric acid and water, used at room temperature or heated, with appropriate safety measures in place.

Passivating Agent

For passivation treatments on stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, copper, nickel, zirconium, and titanium, Bama uses a substance known as a passivating agent. This agent varies depending on the material being treated.
