How to clean and protect stainless steel through
pickling and passivation processes Introduction P
assivation is a process that involves treating a
metal surface to make it less susceptible to
corrosion. It forms a protective layer on the
surface, which helps prevent rust and other forms
of deterioration. pickling and passivation of
stainless steel Pickling and Passivation in Dubai
are processes used to clean and protect stainless
steel. Pickling removes impurities and
contaminants from the surface while
passivation creates a protective layer to prevent
corrosion. The material typically used for
passivation is a chemical solution containing
acids such as nitric acid or citric acid. To
clean and protect stainless steel through
passivation, Al Faizan Metal Coating uses a
process that involves removing contaminants and
forming a protective layer on the surface. First,
the stainless steel is thoroughly cleaned to
remove any dirt, grease, or other impurities.
Then, a passivation solution is applied to the
surface, which helps in the formation of a
chromium-rich oxide layer. This layer acts as a
barrier, protecting the stainless steel from
corrosion and ensuring its longevity.

Is passivation like cleaning and how long does it
last? Yes, passivation is a cleaning process. The
duration of passivation can vary depending on
factors such as the type of material,
environmental conditions and maintenance.
Generally passivation can last for several months
to years before requiring reapplication. Contact
