| STAINLESS STEEL & TITANIUM: Passivation is a process by which contaminated materials conductive to corrosion and/or tarnish are removed. Passivation of stainless steel, for example, is not electroplating. It is a nonelectrical process whereby the free iron is chemically removed from the surface of stainless steel. This prevents the formation of possible corrosion sites and the development of tightly adhering oxides. In like manner, the removal of contaminants and oxides from titanium offers enhanced protection.
