Harrison Electropolishing
Passivation
Harrison Electropolishing provides precision chemical passivation services for stainless steel and corrosion-resistant alloys. Our ISO 9001-certified facility in Houston uses both nitric and citric acid processes to restore corrosion resistance by removing free iron and surface contaminants left behind from machining, welding, or handling. We serve clients in aerospace, semiconductor, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, food-grade manufacturing, and more—helping ensure your components perform as engineered.
The presence of exogenous surface contaminants may adversely affect Hastelloys natural corrosion-resistant properties. Surface contaminants, including grease, dirt, iron, and other metallic particles are inherent to the metal fabrication process. During the passivation of Hastelloy, the surface of a part is chemically treated by a mild oxidant. The chemical passivation treatment removes free iron and other foreign contaminants, allowing the Hastelloy to perform and
