WHY CHOOSE US FOR YOUR PASSIVATION NEEDS?

Erie Plating Company provides consistent nitric passivation and citric passivation (RoHS-compliant) for stainless steel alloys. These Processes remove free iron, machining oils, and surface contaminants while enhancing corrosion resistance through formation of a passive surface layer.
We are skilled in methods and techniques designs to protect your unique parts.
Our team is experienced in the methods and handling techniques required to protect complex and precision components throughout the passivation process. Customers value the availability of citric acid passivation as an environmentally friendly, RoHS-compliant alternative to traditional nitric passivation and also mitigates risk of "flashing" on 400 series stainless steel which is common when processing with Nitric Acid.
We are NADCAP-accredited for stainless steel passivation.

Benefit

Passivation is a process to provide a protective coating on metal to make it less reactive to its environment, preventing corrosion.
For stainless steel, the problem is free iron on the metal surface.
Passivation creates a protective oxide layer to shield the metal surface.
