Passivation
Akron plating recently installed a new passivation line to help keep up with the demand for stainless steel passivation. We offer a wide variety of other passivation specifications, and we are working on NADCAP certification in 5 general passivation specs. Please reach out to us directly or complete the RFQ form on our quote page to find out if we can meet your requirements.

Electropolish
The Electropolish process removes oxides and impurities from the surface and leaves a sterile and passive finish. It creates a smoothness that cannot be obtained by mechanical means and leaves a bright reflective surface. Electropolishing reduces surface roughness by one-half. Electropolishing reduces hydrogen which bacteria cannot live without making this process perfect for hospital equipment, food manufacturing and pneumatics
Specs
ASTM B912-02 is the most common Electropolish Specification
