Passivation & Cleaning
We provide ASTM A967-compliant passivation and precision cleaning to ensure surface integrity, corrosion resistance, and downstream compatibility.
Citric and Nitric Passivation with Integrated Ultrasonic and Vapor Cleaning
We perform citric and nitric passivation per ASTM A967, supported by ultrasonic cleaning, DI rinse, vapor degreasing, and pickling. All cleaning operations use in-house filtered water and are integrated into process routings to ensure surface readiness for critical applications.
We offer both citric and nitric passivation in accordance with ASTM A967, integrated as part of broader process routings for precision wire components. Our cleaning processes include ultrasonic cleaning, DI rinsing, vapor degreasing, and pickling—tailored to meet the cleanliness demands of medical and high-reliability applications. All wash operations utilize our in-house filtered water system to maintain consistency and control. These finishing steps enhance corrosion resistance, remove residual contaminants, and prepare components for downstream coating, assembly, or packaging.
