Capabilities
AMF can provideNadcap Certification for AMS 2700
We at AMF have (3) Current tank sizes with there measurements being 2ft. x 18in. x 3ft. Passivation explained
Passivation is a non-electrolytic process typically using Nitric or Citric acid which removes free iron from the surface and forms an inert, protective oxide layer that in turn renders the stainless steel more rust-resistance due to lack of iron to react with atmosphere.
While stainless steels are naturally corrosion-resistant of which might suggest that passivating them would be unnecessary. Stainless steel is not entirely impervious to corrosion. It derives its corrosion resistant properties from the chromium content. Chromium, in the presence of air (oxygen), forms a thin film of chromium oxide which covers the surface of the stainless steel. Chromium oxide of which is inert or passive by nature and chromium in the material gives stainless steel its corrosion resistant properties. |
