What is Passivated Stainless Steel Tubing?
Passivated Stainless Steel Tubing is exactly what the name suggests, That is, stainless steel tubing that has been processed with passivation to increase its corrosion protection ability. This process entails running the tubing through an acid bath usually nitric acid to help clean up the surface of free iron as well as other contaminants. Consequently the metal develops a black, transparent oxide layer that provides a barrier against rust, corrosion and staining particularly in more demanding conditions.
Passivated tubing is generally used where tubing’s surface hygiene, cleanliness and durability are essential such as in the medical equipment, pharmaceutical and food preparation equipment plus chemical industries. The passivation process also enhances the quality of the surface of the tubing, so that it is free from roughness hence be harder for debris or other contaminants to settle on it. That makes the passivated stainless steel tubing very appropriate for use in places where hygiene and anti-corrosive chemicals are essential.
What is the difference between Nitric and Citric Passivation?
Three submerged passivation procedure is the Nitric Passivation where stainless steel is immersed in nitric acid; a process that normally uses at least 20% – 30% nitric acid. This process re-moves loose iron particles on the surface and also strengthens the natural chromium oxide layer that provides optimum protection against corrosion that is especially useful in applications involving extremely strenuous chemical conditions. This method is popular in aerospace, the production of medicine and food industries.
Citric Passivation uses citric acid solution, making it less aggressive and friendly to the environment than the nitric acid used by other passivation processes. It is less aggressive, thus good for where less severe material treatment is required than for example in the production of medical equipment or in the food processing industry. Citric passivation also minimizes environmental pollution and is normally employed due to the non toxic nature of citric acid than other chemical solutions.
