Passivation is a standard, but critical, process in the manufacturing of many stainless steel parts. When referring to passivation, much emphasis is placed on the process and the characteristics it imparts.
At its heart, passivation is a process that helps prevent corrosion and pitting on the surface of stainless steel. The passivation process applies a thin transparent passive chemically inert film to stainless steel that reduces the reactivity of the metal. This film deters corrosion, oxidation, and mild chemical attack.
