Passivation is a specification-led finish
Passivation services are commonly requested for stainless steel parts, but the exact alloy and customer requirement must be stated. Include the governing process specification and revision rather than relying on the general term alone. Compatibility and acceptance should be reviewed against the actual part and material.
Identify surfaces and process sequence
Provide the material grade, drawing revision and finish condition. Mark areas to mask, surfaces that must remain unchanged and dimensions that should be checked after treatment. If machining residue, heat tint or another condition requires a separate operation, list it explicitly instead of assuming passivation covers it.
Define records and acceptance
State whether the project requires a certificate, test report, lot traceability or another record. Identify the inspection method and quantity. The finish name alone does not establish a corrosion result or customer qualification.
For broad finishing scope, see CNC surface finishing services. For a different coating request, see Alodine coating services.
