Electrochemical process is a chemical change that results from an electrical current being applied.
The process separates the different elements in materials.
For example:
Aluminum separates into alumina and oxygen.
Brine divides into hydrogen, chlorine, and caustic soda.
Corrosion protection
Surface treatment for manufacturing
Prevents oxidation by forming a seal on the metal
Pickling and passivation are two forms of chemical metal finishing that provide protective properties to metal especially against rust. Or in other terms, pickling and passivation are the name of the two processes where the metal is submerged in a bathing liquid that removes imperfections and rust from the surface of metal.
On the surface there […]
The need for cleanliness in the pharmaceutical industry cannot be overstated. If process tanks are not cleaned properly, it can lead to cross contamination of products, reputation damaging, monetarily costly shutdowns, and even death.
The first step is cleaning and decontaminating the process tank. This step rinses the surface from grease and other dirt.
The second step […]
Passivating stainless steel is needed to provide a protective layer on stainless steel to protect the metal from pollutants in the environment. Metal that is not treated by passivation will be more likely to have microscopic imperfections that let in oxygen and water as well as other pollution that will cause rusting.
Clean the metal. Manufacturing […]
Electropolishing is way of finishing metal that bathes stainless steel in chemicals and then adds an electric current to change the surface of the metal.
The benefits that come from electropolishing are:
• Metal becomes easier to clean and sterilize. The process leaves the surface smooth and resistant to pollutants sticking to surface.
• Provides a more aggressive […]
