1. Passivation – Protection You Need
The modern world is filled with many marvels, and within the medical and scientific fields there
are numerous different areas of study, all working to improve the quality of our lives. While
they'll all differ somewhat in terms of their processes and their goals, most have some things in
common. Among them, the use of equipment and materials that are made from stainless steel and
other metals is one of the common threads. These tools, surfaces, and equipment all need to be
kept in top condition in terms of cleanliness, smoothness, and chemical non-reactivity. In order
to do that, special steps usually must be taken.
Basically, the act of making a stainless steel surface passive in terms of its reactivity to
chemicals is known as passivation. By treating the steel through a multi-step process the steel
will essentially be neutral during any experiments or tests it is used for. This is vital when a
totally neutral surface is needed – surfaces that react with a compound could alter results
negatively and render all data gleaned from a study invalid. The process must be completed on
totally clean, descaled surfaces and is fairly simple for experienced professionals to complete. It's
commonly performed on a daily basis, and is one of the backbones of the research community.

It's important to understand the difference between this process and the act of electropolishing.
In some instances the two are identical, but in other cases the polishing won't necessarily remove
the reactivity of the surface. In these instances a different process is used and the results are
basically the removal of scale, removal of corrosion, and prevention of corrosion. It can also
render a surface much smoother and more suitable for different tasks. When used as part of a
multi-step process it can passivate surfaces and prepare them for experiments.
Basically, these processes are required for any facility that utilizes stainless steel or other
materials, particularly those that require perfectly smooth, totally nonreactive surfaces. It's not
something you can just go rent a machine for, either. You'll have to actually hire a professional
to handle the process for you and make sure that you get the best results. Their expertise and
their professional tools will ensure that all of your surfaces are in top shape and are ready to go
whenever you need them. Routine maintenance involving these two procedures is absolutely
vital for most facilities, and easier to find than you may think.
