It is a chemical process that enhances a metal’s resistance to corrosive agents and can be used as a pre-treatment before starting the galvanic cycle, if required.<\/p>

This process involves forming a dense and uniform film designed to keep the metal immune from chemical, atmospheric, and corrosive agents over time.<\/p>

Passivation treatments are carried out by immersing the material in acidic solutions (usually nitric acid HNO3 or citric acid C6H8O7) and can be performed at room temperature or at a maximum temperature of 60\u00b0C to eliminate oily or greasy molecules present on small metal parts, in specialized baths or with the help of ultrasonic waves.<\/p>\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\r\n Heating Phase <\/h4>\r\n
\r\n The part is placed in a dedicated furnace to ensure uniform heating across the entire surface of the material. The heating is done slowly to avoid thermal variations between the internal and external parts of the component. The temperature varies depending on the type of treatment required. <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n

\r\n Soaking Phase <\/h4>\r\n
\r\n This is the most important phase. The soaking phase is when the material is kept at a constant temperature, ensuring that the part inside the furnace reaches the same temperature across all points of its surface. The duration of this phase varies based on the customer\u2019s request. <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n

\r\n Cooling Phase <\/h4>\r\n
