Terminology3.1 Definition of Term Specific to This StandardIt is necessary to define which of the several commonly used definitions ofthe term passivation will be used in this specificatio

19、n. (See Discussion.)3.1.1 DiscussionStainless steels are autopassivating in the sense that the protective passive metal oxide film is formedspontaneously on exposure to air or moisture. The presence of exogenous surface contamination, including dirt, grease, free ironfrom contact with steel tooling,

20、 and so forth, may interfere with the formation of the passive metal oxide film. The cleaning of thesecontaminants from the stainless steel surface will facilitate the spontaneous passivation by allowing the oxygen uniform access tothe surface. The passive metal oxide film may be augmented by chemic

21、al treatments that provide an oxidizing environment forthe stainless steel surface.3.1.1.1 In this specification, passivation, unless otherwise specified, is defined as the chemical treatment of a stainless steel witha mild oxidant, such as a nitric acid solution, for the purpose of the removal of f

22、ree iron or other foreign matter, but which isgenerally not effective in removal of heat tint or oxide scale on stainless steel. In the case of stainless steels with additions of sulfurfor the purpose of improved machinability, passivation may also include the removal of sulfides from the surface of

23、 the metal forthe purpose of maximizing corrosion resistance.3.1.1.2 The formation of the protective passive metal oxide film on a stainless steel, also called passivation in a more generalcontext, will occur spontaneously in air or other oxygen-containing environment when the stainless steel surfac

24、e is free of oxidescale and exogenous matter.3.1.1.3 Chemical treatments, such as sodium dichromate solutions, may facilitate the more rapid formation of the passive filmon a stainless steel surface already free of scale or foreign matter. Such treatments, also sometimes called passivation in common

25、usage, are designated as post-cleaning treatments in this specification in order to distinguish them from chemical treatmentscapable of removing free iron from stainless steels.3.1.1.4 The chemical treatments capable of removing heat tint or oxide scale from stainless steel and capable of dissolving

26、 thestainless steel itself, typically called pickling, are substantially more aggressive than treatments used for passivation, as defined in3.1.1.1. The surface of stainless steel that has been pickled is free of scale, free iron, and exogenous foreign matter, and does notrequire a separate treatmen

27、t for passivation as defined in 3.1.1.1. The passivation process defined in 3.1.1.2 will occur withoutfurther chemical treatment but may be augmented and improved by the post-cleaning treatments defined in 3.1.1.3.3.1.1.5 Electrochemical treatments, including electropickling and electropolishing cap

28、able of removing heat tint or oxide scalefrom stainless steel and capable of dissolving the stainless steel itself, are substantially more aggressive than treatments used forpassivation, as defined in 3.1.1.1. The surface of stainless steel resulting from these treatments is free of scale, free iron

29、, andexogenous foreign matter, and does not require a separate treatment for passivation as defined in 3.1.1.1. The passivation processdefined in 3.1.1.2 will occur without further chemical treatment, but may be augmented and improved by the post-cleaningtreatments defined in 3.1.1.3. Statements reg
